Tips to get the perfect Southport vacation property experience:

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

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• Select dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Beach Walkers: 5 Bed\/3 Bath Sun-Kissed, Oceanfront Home with Three Large Decks has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. 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 it a point as part of your review.
