Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Carolina Beach rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. The Regency - Houseboat Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you crave, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
