Wilmington, NC rental home booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. To book the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in Carolina Beach:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. OCEANFRONT, UPDATED, Heated Pool, Elevator, Clean, Near Boardwalk, Shops, Dining has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
