Tricks and tips to get the optimal Southport rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family 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 counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you simply love, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
