Top 5 Ways to Save on Your Beach Vacation

Temperatures are heating up and summer is beginning. You might be dreaming of a beach vacation or planning one soon. When we finally get to take our family vacation, we want to have a great time without breaking the bank. It’s always nice to have some extra money for spending when we get to our destination, so here are some tips on ways you can save.

Be flexible with your dates. Bald Head Island is gorgeous year-round so you don’t have to plan to come during peak season. Often, even a slight change of the week or arrival date can save you money on your vacation. If you’re flexible with your trip, it’s easier to find a better rate.

Check for upcoming specials.  New special offers will be posted on our vacation rental specials page. Every military guest gets a discounted rate and there are often holiday specials and other discounts throughout the year.

Keep the crew together. Many Bald Head Island homes offer several bedrooms and even crofters for extra guests. Rather than renting separately, take advantage of the multiple bedrooms and stick together. This will even save on extra cleaning fees or charges that come with getting a separate place. Not to mention, you’ll get to make many more memories being together the whole trip!

Take advantage of grocery delivery. There will be a lot of extra items in your cart if you all go to the store together. This often ends in a lot of food and drinks being left behind when you head home. Using grocery delivery from Maritime Market, you can list out everything you need so you don’t end up with a bunch of items that you won’t use.

Cook at home. Most rental homes will come with spacious kitchens and many even feature patio tables and grills so you can all enjoy your cooking at home. This will save on dining out so much and will make that special night out even more special! You can also pack some snacks to take to the beach for people to enjoy so you don’t have to head back early for food.

It’s been a wild year so far and a beach getaway is just what we all need to relax. Try a few of these tips to save on your vacation and we hope to see you soon!
