Oak Island vacation rental home tips:

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

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Charming Island Bungalow has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
