Tricks and tips for getting the best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with 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.

Finding the best rental in Carolina Beach:

• Start by having your group decide on vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. ????Sandstep????Oceanfront, Shared Pool, Gas Grill?? has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently 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 BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
