How to get the best Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking 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 local stories, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your search:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Two Minutes to the Ocean sleeps 4 has 2 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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 review.
