Oak Island vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking your prefect Carolina Beach rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront Gem with Stunning Views, Spacious Deck, Outdoor Shower, and Grill has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, contact the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
