How to get the best vacation rental experience:

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

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in Oak Island:

• Start by having your group select the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. All Is Whale \/ 508 W. Beach Drive - Coastal Vacation Resorts has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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.
