Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Anchor Down - Ocean & Canal Views, Near Beach Access, CB Pier, Freeman Park, Outdoor Space, Grill has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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 your family have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
