Oak Island vacation rental tips:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book your prefectvacation home:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Second Chances: Short distance to the surf! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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 you have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix 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 feedback.
