Booking the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Kathy's Dream: Dog-Friendly Home Just One Block from Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. message the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
