How to get the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Newly remodeled second row home with beautiful views and steps to the beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If not, reach out to the property owner before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your group.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
