Tips and Tricks to get the best Bald Head Island rental home experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Doc House - Charming Ocean + Maritime Forest Home, Private Boardwalk, BHI Club, Near Marina, Pets OK has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
