Getting the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental home within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Southport area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. My Happy Place: Ocean View Condo with Seasonal Community Pool, Hot Tub has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
