Tips to get the perfect Oak Island rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 5BR\/3.5BA Home - Oceanfront, Event Home, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 13 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually 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 shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
