Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and choosing the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Pool, private beach access, kid friendly has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
