Tricks and tips to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• First, have your family decide on a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 3BR\/2BA - Dog Friendly, Fenced Yard, Close to Beach, Sleeps 6 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
