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

Find your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to select the perfect rental home in Bald Head Island:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Great views of the Atlantic Ocean, high on dune, close to beach access, BHI has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of issues.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
