How to get the best Ocean Isle Beach rental home experience:

When to book a Carolina Beach rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Makin' Memories! New Owner, New Name, New Management has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
