Booking the best rental home experience:

Get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. Book your Carolina Beach rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfectrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 5 Bedroom 6.5 Bath Duplex, Ocean View, Dog Friendly, Pool, Sleeps 16 has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
