Our top Oak Island rental home booking tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere 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 catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 4BR\/3BA,Oceanfront,Beach Cottage, Dog Friendly-Sleeps14 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
