Carolina Beach vacation rental tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the perfect Carolina Beach rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Portabella Paradise~ Beach, Boardwalk, Fishing, State Park Hiking Trails, Shop! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Call the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. 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! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
