Tips to get the very best rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Book your Carolina Beach rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is best for your group.
