Our top Carolina Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Serene & sunlit getaway with spacious rooms & great patio - near beach & golf has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Contact the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
