How to find the best rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. Book your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
Look for your local Brunswick area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

Select vacation week and spending budget.
Walk to Beach and Marina has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Some things to know before you go:

Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
