Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront 4BR 2 Story Duplex with Private Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, call the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
