Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ginger Mermaid \/ 916 E Dolphin Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
