Our top Oak Island rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your budget:

• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• To book the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your family commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Sand Castle, 9 bedroom,6 1\/2 bath,sleep 26, pool, hottub, elevator, beach close has 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
