During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, laughter and the squeals of kids of all ages as they whoosh and whirl past on the assortment of rides at the oceanside amusement park and at extraordinary events like the weekly fireworks and concert series.

Tips to get the best rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Carolina Beach. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. La Casita-Oceanfront Oasis with Great Views has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents 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 on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
