Our complex is in the ideal "vacation location", directly across from the Yaupon Beach Fishing Pier, Koko Cabana bar and restaurant, Ruby's coffee shop, and the Lazy Turtle Bar and Grille just a block away. Also, less than a mile to the East is Oak Island Golf Club and their new Duffer's Pub and Grille. Appreciate palm trees and ocean vistas right from your porch. There is also a shared outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Oak Island Lighthouse is about a three mile walk along the beach to the East.

Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• To get the best vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Carolina Beach restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental 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 pick the best rental home:

• Choose your dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. ~Carolina Tides~ Ocean View, Pier, Pool, Steps to the Beach and Restaurants! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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 review.
