How to find the best Oak Island rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Carolina Beach vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. A Pirate's Paradise: Oceanfront Home with Covered Porch and Porch Swing has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
