Finding the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Penthouse beachside retreat, steps from the ocean has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
