The condo complex performs routine pest control on the following dates (2023): 3/13, 6/12, 7/10, 8/14, 9/11, 12/11. This is required and the pest control employee must be allowed to access the property on these dates to treat the unit. The HOA issues fines for noncompliance and would be the responsibility of the renter on that date.

There is a Beach re-nourishment done in Carolina and Kure beach every 3 years. This helps to keep our beaches safe from erosion. Please note that we have no control over this project and that it is normally concluded by May, but there is a possibility of delays.

Strategies for getting the perfect rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Sand Fiddler Summary: has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
