Tricks and tips to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking your prefect Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Historic Cottage Across the Street from Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
