Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation 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 hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and choose the rightrental home:

Begin by selecting your trip dates and a max 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 rental home search.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.

Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
