Rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to reserve a Bald Head Island rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best rental home in Bald Head Island:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Quintessential BHI escape. NEW! Updated Beach House has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
