Strategies to get the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Brunswick area area. Book your rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Waves & Sun -- OCEANFRONT, Heated Pool, Elevators, Entire Duplex, Sleeps 25-28 has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your group.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
