Rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
