Finding the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. Booking your Brunswick area vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local 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 information, visitor guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home:

• First, have your group decide on vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Facing the Beach\/Boardwalk Top Floor Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
