Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental in Carolina Beach:

• First, have your family decide on dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Affordable and Convenient - Walk to Beach - Dogs Allowed has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
