Getting the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is high season in Bald Head Island. To get the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and choosing yourrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront, separate detached suite with rental of home, BHI has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you simply love, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
