Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. 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 your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the rightrental:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Keeper's Landing Marsh Retreat! \nMinutes to East Beach Access and Shoals Club\n has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective 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 review.
