Tricks and tips to get the perfect Oak Island rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfectvacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 6BR\/4BA - Oceanfront, 2 Living Areas, 2 Kitchens, Gazebo, Sleeps 16 has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you are crazy about, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. message the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent 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! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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 property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
