Getting the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Stairway to Historic Charm! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
