Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Magnolia: Serene Oasis Under Nature’s Canopy has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
