Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Book your Southport rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

Begin by selecting trip dates and a budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Brand new gorgeous home with Pool, New 8 seater Golf Cart, elevator, with easy access to beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your family.
Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
If there's a specific Southport attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually 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 shopping?
Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
