Carolina Beach rental property booking tips:

Find your best deal:

• Summer time is high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Sprawling Sound Front Home w Boat Slip has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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 fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
