Strategies to get the optimal Southport vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To find the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Dog Friendly, Beach House Just Minutes From The Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
