How to get the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Wilmington. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• To start, have your family select the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Regency - Houseboat Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you simply love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.

• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
