Tricks and tips to get the optimal Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To get the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Whimseacal: Dog friendly beach escape with screened porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
