Southport vacation rental tips:

Finding the best value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Beachside Charm! Heated Pool, Spa & 3-Min Walk to Shore has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong 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 feedback.
