Tips to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts 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 family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your group decide on vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Charming 4 Bedroom Oceanview cottage dog friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many issues.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
