Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Oak Island rental experience:

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

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Family oasis beach retreat in quiet woodlands has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If not, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.

• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, 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.
