How to find the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the largest rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your group choose the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. A Shore Escape - new to rental market! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean 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 group have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect 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.
