Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. Book your Carolina Beach rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of 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.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental home:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. 5min to Attractions, Shops & Beach + Yard Games has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
