Strategies to get the best Carolina Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation rental in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Float My Boat on the canal in OIB! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your trip.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
