Our top Carolina Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Book your Cape Fear area rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Get caught up in \"Riptide\" has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean 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 family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
