Getting the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, shift your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Steps to the Beach! 5BR Home w/ Ocean Views & Large Deck. Arcade for kids! has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable 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 comments.
