Tips and Tricks for getting the best Oak Island rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Updated Oceanfront Beach House has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
