The outside of the home reminds us of our visits to New Orleans, and so we decorated this space in honor of The Garden District.

Strategies to get the optimal Carolina Beach rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, 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 visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Garden District Flat has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If not, email the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
