Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

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

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Brand New 12 Bedroom,Oceanfront Home-Walk to Restaurants,Stores,& Entertainment has 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
