Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous 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 and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Shellease Cottage-\n4 minute walk to the beach!\nGolf Cart available! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
