Our top Carolina Beach rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose your Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Get caught up in \"Riptide\" has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with 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 built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
