Our top Carolina Beach rental property booking tips:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking your Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Truly Unique! 1938 Historic Beach House has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
