The Mighty Turtle -

Adorable 3 bedroom 2 bath bungalow located just 5 blocks from the beach and close to all Oak Island has to offer. The Mighty Turtle is modest enough for a charming hideaway, fishing trip, or big enough for a family vacation.

Unwind in the peaceful neighborhood, or walk to the beach for the impressive sunrises and sunsets. Savor your morning coffee or a invigorating drink from the screened in porch right off the Master Bedroom.

Entirely equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, and the kids will appreciate the sizable fenced in backyard- or go the bunk bed room equipped with a DVD player, games, puzzles, books for hours of fun filled play time. Or sit on the sectional couch and relax from a fun, sun filled day on the beach.

Don't forget to have a cookout in the backyard and remember all the fun times you had on your vacation to Oak Island and The Mighty Turtle.

Southport rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental home:

To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Look for your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a max budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Charming 3BR\/2BA Home Located on a Direct Beach Access Street-Sleeps7 has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation group.
Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Additional considerations:

Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
