How to book the best Southport vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your family commit to date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Intracoastal Waterway - 3BR\/2BA Waterfront has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
