How to find the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Reserve your Carolina Beach rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best rental in Oak Island:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. \"The Last Chance\" Oceanfront Cottage w\/ Panoramic Views & Vintage Vibes has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is best for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
