Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. Reserve your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your Southport rental:

• To start, have your group select date ranges and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Studio - direct 2 min beach walk with public access end of street. has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• 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 loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
