Tips for getting the perfect Southport rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 3BR\/2BA Home - COMPLETELY REMODELED, CLOSE TO BEACH, Sleeps 7 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
