Oak Island vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• 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, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best rental home in the Southport area:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Cottage w\/ Panoramic Views & Vintage Vibes - The Last Chance has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
