Our top Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. NEW Oak Island Bungalow, 2 mins to beach, fenced yard, 2 screened porches! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, 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 expeditiously to fix it.
