Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home & When to go:

• Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, 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.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Carolina Beach rental:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Off The Clock: Quietly Tucked Away, Only Two Minutes From Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
