Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Booking in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Southport vacation home:

• To start, have your group agree to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 4BR\/2BA - RENOVATED, OCEANFRONT, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you long to visit, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper 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, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• 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 rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
