Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. House with Boat Dock - famous Carolina Beach Canal - Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your family.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
