Tips and Tricks to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the best vacation home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Mermaid Cove has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
