Tips to get the best Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Reserve your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a max 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.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
