How to find the best Bald Head Island vacation home experience:

When to book a Carolina Beach rental home & When to go:

Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best rental:

Choose your dates and spending budget.
Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Maritime Forest retreat close to East Beach! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation family.
Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your contract.
If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
