Carolina Beach vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to a budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which often 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 Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Sleep 22 people just a 3 block stroll to the beach has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
