How to book the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Luxe & Family Friendly - Kayak Our Dock, 2 Clubs has 3 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach destination you crave, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
