Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Smith's Bermuda \/ 914 E Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
