Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing a perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. How Sweet The Sound - Great Dune Home in Quiet Neighborhood. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
