Carolina Beach vacation rental booking tips:

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

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, consider changing your family's Carolina Beach vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners 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 family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• Start by having your group select date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Bu with a View has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
