Tricks and tips to get the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Freshly updated canal front on one of Nat Geo's best beaches has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
