Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• To get the best vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself.
