Tips to get the best Southport rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Choosing the best rental in Oak Island:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Aw Shucks: Spacious Oceanfront Home w\/Covered Porch and Dune Top Deck has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
