Enormous Porches on the 2nd & 3rd levels allow you to watch the sun rise & set over the Atlantic which is only a short walk away. There’s even a porch swing to appreciate on the 2nd floor deck. Rinse off the salt & sand in the large Outdoor Shower (hot & cold water). Toss your beach clothes into the Washer & Dryer with a folding table. Also within walking distance is Middleton Park with a fun Splash Pad & an Outdoor Venue used for Free Concerts & Food Trucks during the summer. You can even savor the concerts from the privacy of the deck if you prefer as it is so close.

How to find the best Oak Island vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property 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 best vacation rental:

Choose vacation dates and budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Private Saltwater Pool, With Excellent Ocean Views And Only 2 Blocks From the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your trip.
If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently 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 out, or the best spots for shopping?
Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
