Strategies for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Southport vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the bestrental home:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Best Location on the Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
