Tips to get the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Quaint Cottage, One Street from Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
