Finding the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Carefree Coastal Getaway - Walk to Long Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. message the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
