Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the perfect rental in Wilmington:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Unique deluxe houseboat at Port City Marina named the “Sea Ranch” has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
