Strategies to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. DOG FRIENDLY & STUNNING 3 bedroom/2 bath beach house with fenced back yard has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
