Carolina Beach rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best rental in Carolina Beach:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. SL1501L: Starfish Cottage Lower: Oceanfront, Dog-Friendly Vintage Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you are crazy about, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
