Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. 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 friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront home with private beach walkway, washer\/dryer, WiFi & AC - dogs OK has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
