Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 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 evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the perfect vacation rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanview unit with a pool, just steps from the beach! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. 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 fix it.
