Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 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 issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family decide on dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Sandtrap: Oceanview House on West Beach with Easy Beach Access. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
