Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Carolina Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the right Carolina Beach rental:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Private middle island home with nature views; modern design with three golf carts has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
