Our top Carolina Beach rental home tips:

When to book a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, change your family's Cape Fear area vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose the right Cape Fear area rental home:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sea-renity at Driftwood Villas has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. text the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
