Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Ocean Isle Beach. To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. OCEAN FRONT - West End Home @ OIB on the Sound and Sea! Private Pool has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
