Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Papa's Place: A Stone's Throw to the Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. text the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
