Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your Carolina Beach rental home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Lost Shaker of Salt: Family-friendly Home on Oak Island with Easy Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
