Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental:

• First, have your group decide on the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. New! The Waterman Cottage at Wrightsville~5 mins to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach beach you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
