Strategies for getting the perfect Carolina Beach rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the largest rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, tours, and activities.
Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best rental:

Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Carolina Beach Cottage Paws Welcome! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
