Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental 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.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. St James Vacation Condo\/TH Rental - Southport NC - Cottage Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
