Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with 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 choosing a perfectrental:

• Start by having your family decide on dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. \"Running Down A Dream\" Pet friendly Oceanfront in peaceful Caswell Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is right for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
