Tips to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.

Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.

In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightvacation home:

Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is best for your family.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers 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 property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
