Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. The Sandcastle: Upscale Large Oceanfront Home with Private Pool and Elevator has 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.

Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
