Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. \"Idle Hour\" Family Friendly Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
