Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Carolina Beach rental:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Lakeside Bliss 1 Hr. from Dallas has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
