How to book the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Carolina Beach. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Knotty Goose - Home in Carolina Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other 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 property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
