Booking the best rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Classic Coastal Cottage 3 BR 3.5 Baths Walk to Marina, Beach and Old Baldy has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
