How to book the best rental home experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront family fun home and dog friendly! Coastal Coop has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
