Tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront, private beach access, Sleep 22, elevator seven bedroom, 4 1\/2 bath has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
