Tips and Tricks to get the best Ocean Isle Beach rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Ocean Isle Beach. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• 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 promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best rental in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Great for Family and Rest! Newly updated 4BR Canal House, Short Walk to Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
