Tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 4BR\/2BA Home - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Walk to Beach, Firepit Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is optimal for your trip.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
