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.

How to find the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group select the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 15% off Summer Reservations Early Bird Special! - Symbiosis has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC beach you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
