Booking the best rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Southport area. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, 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 near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay 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 unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking the bestvacation home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oak Island beach cottage steps to the beach and close to Oak Island Pier has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you long to visit, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
