Tricks and tips for getting the best Southport rental experience:

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

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Southport attractions.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation 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 ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing and booking the right Southport vacation home:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 3Min Walk to Beach w\/Marsh View: Bright Spacious Family Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
