Strategies to get the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Kayak Our Dock, Clubs has 3 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your trip.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
