Vacation rental tips:

When to reserve a Southport rental & When to go:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking a perfectrental:

• To start, have your group decide on dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Charming Home! Just minutes From the Beach, Near Shopping has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
