How to book the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. Booking your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your group agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. 6BR/4BA - Oceanfront, 2 Living Areas, 2 Kitchens, Gazebo, Sleeps 16 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Southport attraction you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
