Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Booking in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental home in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Welcome to High-Jinks at OIB! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach beach you simply love, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
