Tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

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

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Southern Marsh has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
