Tips to get the best Oak Island rental home experience:

When to visit Oak Island & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Southport attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose a perfect Southport rental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Ocean Views Great Location, Dog friendly Condo, Only 200 steps to Beach, No Parking Fees has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
