Booking the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• To find the best rental within budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Historic Cottage Across the Street from Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
