Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanview 3BR/2BA Duplex Located Less Than a 1 Minute Walk-Sleeps6 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you simply love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
