Tips to get the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Lay Z Days: Wetland and Wildlife Views in Walking Distance to the Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable 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 feedback.
