Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• To book the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Two Minutes to the Ocean sleeps 4 has 2 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If not, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
