Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Oak Island. To get the best rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-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 check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Southport area:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. At Turtle Cottage: Oceanfront Home with Spacious Deck, Close to Pier and Restaur has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you simply love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect your property!
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
