Step out onto the deck and discover unobstructed vistas of the ocean and sand. Appreciate a sunrise with a cup of coffee in the salt air, or just sit outside and soak it all in. The beach, sand, and surf are just steps away. After a day in the sun, take advantage of the outdoor shower to stay sand complimentary indoors, or freshen up with the in-home laundry.

If you're looking for evening activities or need a break from the beach, take a walk to close by Middleton Park. Located at the heart of Oak Island, there are a variety of markets, music events, festivals, and more in the summer. You can take a stroll along the walking path, or challenge a friend to a round of pickleball (or another game - there are other athletic courts available!)

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Carolina Beach vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Semi Oceanfront, Steps to Beach, Cozy Cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
