Strategies for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Waves & Sun -- OCEANFRONT, Heated Pool, Elevators, Entire Duplex, Sleeps 25-28 has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
