Vacation Rental Maintenance: What To Expect

Celebrating One Year At Carolina Retreats!

Carolina Retreats is proud to announce our 1 year anniversary! From the onset, our combination of vacation rental services have combined to form a perfect partnership throughout the North Carolina coast. Now set to surpass 300 vacation rentals from Topsail Island to Carolina & Kure Beach, our growing success has only improved all aspects of guest and owner services.

Carolina Retreats is Proud to Partner with TrustPilot for Guest Reviews

Carolina Retreats is over the moon to partner with one of the largest automated review companies in the nation. TrustPilot, founded in 2007, has over a quarter million businesses using customer reviews to drive growth.

With so many review platforms out there, TrustPilot is one of the few that offer integrated services such as SEO snippets to increase ranking in Search Engines, as well as the ability to create star ratings within Google Ads.

Q&A with Danny Williams

We recently sat down with our General Manager, Danny Williams, to discuss what got him started in the vacation rental industry and how he sees the future of vacation rental management.

Vacation Booking Trends

As was previously mentioned, overall bookings are trending slightly ahead of last year and this is great news! We are in the process of confirming guests who booked for 2019 during 2018. Guests will have until 1/22 to complete their agreements and make their first payments, converting their bookings to confirmed reservations. Guests who do not confirm with signed agreements and the first payments due by 1/22 will have received several reminders before they are canceled and the dates previously reserved opened up for general booking purposes.
