Tips and Tricks to get the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, 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 vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect rental home in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. The Blue Whale Inn
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
