Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Book your Southport rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfectrental home:

• Start by having your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 5BR 5.5BA House-Oceanfront; Ocean, ICW & Lighthouse Views; Sleeps 10 has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you crave, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
