Tips for getting the best Southport rental home experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming Beach Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
