Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Carolina Beach:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. BEACH PKG-Bikes, Beach Eqp, Garden Rm Apt & Patio has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If not, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a particular Wilmington, NC beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
