Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sand Castle, 9 bedroom,6 1\/2 bath,sleep 26, pool, hottub, elevator, beach close has 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you crave, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
