Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Carolina Beach area. Book your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best rental home:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Relaxing Waterfront Retreat, sleeps 10 fishing pier bikes kayaks paddleboard has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, call the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable 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.
