How to get the best vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Southport vacation home in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Finding the best vacation rental in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. BURDEN'S END in OIB - 3 minutes to sand! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong 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 review.
