How to get the best Sunset Beach rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip 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 days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home in Sunset Beach:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Freshly updated canal front on one of Nat Geo's best beaches has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
