Tips to get the best rental home experience:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

How to select the best rental:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Crabby Condo has magnificent ocean views, steps to the boardwalk, and pool has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
