How to find the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Brunswick area rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and pick the perfectrental home:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Stunning Family Getaway - Water Views, Easy Boat Launch has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. message the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
