Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation home in Wilmington:

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. The Enchanted Cottage
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?

• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
