Our top Carolina Beach vacation rental home tips:

Finding your perfect rental home:

Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
To get the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wilmington, NC restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine when you check-in. 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 articles, travel guides have coupons for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. New! Condo with Dock + Pool has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
