Tips and Tricks to get the best Oak Island rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in the Southport area:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Historic Family Home < 1 Mi to Long Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. message the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. 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 remedy it.
