Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Wilmington, NC attractions. 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 the Summer.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect rental in Carolina Beach:

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Gray Sails-Steps from the ocean has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If not, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your family.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you long to visit, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
