Our top Carolina Beach rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, 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 the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Brunswick area rental home:

• To start, have your group choose dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Dogs Allowed at Pirates Retreat Carolina Beach Rental has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a particular Brunswick area attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
