Strategies to get the best Ocean Isle Beach rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Ocean Isle Beach. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Island Park-West End of OIB has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
