Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer months are high season in Atlantic Beach. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. The Exum Cottage - Beachfront in Atlantic Beach, NC has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
