Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Serene coastal cottage in Wilmington has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 review.
