Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking the right Brunswick area rental home:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Elegant beachfront escape with private boardwalk, free WiFi, & furnished balcony has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
