Tips to get the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Reserve your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the perfect rental in Oak Island:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. A Shore Thing - Great Location! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
