Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefectvacation home:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Walk to the beach, Free Bikes! Bike to OKI Pier, Golf, or local eats! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
