Rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Book your Southport vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book the bestrental home:

• First and foremost, have your family select the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. \"Island Time\" Charming 4 Bedroom Oceanview cottage dog friendly! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain Southport destination you are crazy about, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
