Finding the best Oak Island rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking the perfect Southport vacation home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 6BR\/4BA - Oceanfront, 2 Living Areas, 2 Kitchens, Gazebo, Sleeps 16 has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is best for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Document any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Please 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 reasonably to solve it.
