Tips to get the optimal rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best rental home in Oak Island:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Cottage on Serene Marsh, Steps to Ocean. Recreation Equipment Provided! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport destination you are crazy about, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
