Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of 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 visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing a perfectrental home:

• To start, have your family select vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Beachside Charm! Heated Pool, Spa & 3-Min Walk to Shore has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
