Rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Book your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking a perfect Carolina Beach rental:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Front Street Retreat has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, call the host before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
