Rental home booking tips:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Lux Historic Dist. – Walking Distance to Riverwalk has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
