Strategies to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect rental in Holden Beach:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Tropic Like Its Hot-Beautiful Pet Friendly Home! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• 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 find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
