Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the rightrental home:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Waves & Sun -- OCEANFRONT, Heated Pool, Elevators, Entire Duplex, Sleeps 25-28 has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
