Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Shell House - Less than a block to beach access and recently updated! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

Tips for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
