Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. A Bella Vista: Comfortable Gathering Space with Breathtaking Views has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
