Carolina Beach vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Carolina Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Select your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. \"Island Time\" Charming 4 Bedroom Oceanview cottage dog friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
