Booking the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. 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.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental in Bald Head Island:

• Start by having your family decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Quintessential BHI escape. NEW! Updated Beach House has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
