How to get the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Little Paddle Beach Cottage near the Boardwalk has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If not, reach out to the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Brunswick area destination you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a great stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss 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 feedback.
