Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the largest rental for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Southport restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 4BR 2BA House-Oceanfront; Ocean, ICW & Lighthouse Views; Sleeps 9 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
