Tricks and tips for getting the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Reserve your Carolina Beach rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Start by having your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Welcome to Saltmarsh Retreat on Bald Head Island! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently 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 BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
