Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking yourrental:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Carolina Beach Townhouse with Pool has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
