Finding the best rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Newly renovated dog friendly beach cottage at Oak Island, with beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Southport beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
