Strategies to get the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. House with Boat Dock - famous Carolina Beach Canal - Intracoastal Waterway has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
