Tips for getting the best Ocean Isle Beach vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Start by having your family select vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Great for Family and Rest! Newly updated 4BR Canal House, Short Walk to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
