Rental booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer time is high season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. \"Idle Hour\" Family Friendly Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 comments.
