Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
