Tricks and tips for getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose your Carolina Beach rental:

• Start by having your group commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Yacht View: Serene, Dog-friendly Home on Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.

• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
