How to get the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Spacious Top-Floor Condo w\/ Pool, Elevator, Views; Walk to Beach and Town! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
