Strategies to get the best Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing a perfect Carolina Beach rental home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Colonel's Cottage is a charming and spacious Maritime Forest retreat! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.

• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.

• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.

If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words.
