Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. 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 information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 3BR\/3BA Home - WALK TO BEACH\/FOOD\/SHOPS, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 8 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
