Tricks and tips to get the best Southport vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To book the largest rental within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for local tours and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 3BR\/2BA House - Close to the Beach (6 minute walk or 2 minute drive)-Dog has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
