Finding the best vacation property experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Seashell: Charming Bungalow a Short Stroll From the Sand has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
