Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

Summer months are the most expensive season in Carolina Beach. Book your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Carolina Beach:

Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
Determine 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.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
If there's a certain Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

Add the host's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
To make sure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
