Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Beach Joy: Ocean View Covered Porch, Enclosed Outside Shower, Close to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
