Strategies for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Start by having your group commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Modern home with lookout in the heart of downtown has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
