Our top Ocean Isle Beach rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best Southport rental home:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Charming oceanfront cottage has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
