Tricks and tips for getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Carolina Beach rental:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 10% Off for bookings made by April 30th - Amazing Ocean Views - Dog Friendly Beach Front Home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you crave, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
