Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. 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.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
