Strategies to get the optimal rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Two water views, 2-5min. walk to beach, best kitchen, beds & outdoor spaces. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you simply love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. 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.
