How to find the best Southport vacation rental experience:

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

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Southport vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 4BR/2BA Home - 2nd Row, Ocean Views, Walk to Beach, Firepit Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
