Tricks and tips to get the optimal Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Carolina Beach rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Serene island escape with two balconies & spacious layout - walk to beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
