Strategies to get the very best rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to choose the perfect rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• To start, have your group choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Harbour Grace-Your happy place has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
