Our top Oak Island rental booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfect Southport rental:

• Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Are we there yet? :Gorgeous Modern Home on Waterway has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective 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.
