During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Cape Fear area area:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Oceanview House Now accepting Short Stays! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. 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 feedback.
