Tips to get the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• To book the best rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Pet-friendly, fully-fenced yard, minutes to beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
