Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to book:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Bald Head Island. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Marsh House - Rate discounted for remaining August weeks! has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Have a great stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
