How to get the best rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Booking your Southport vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Southport rental:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Blue Marlin \/ 1426 E Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
