Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. To book the best rental within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing the best Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 10% Off for bookings made by May 31st - Amazing Ocean Views - Dog Friendly Beach Front Home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
