Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Start by having your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Taylor House has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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.
