Ocean Isle Beach rental booking tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Carolina Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Coastal OIB Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, email the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
