How to find the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Bella Vita, Oceanfront Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
