Oak Island vacation rental tips:

Finding the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your family select trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 5BR\/3.5BA Home - Oceanfront, Event Home, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 13 has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
