Strategies to get the perfect Oak Island vacation property experience:

When to book a Southport rental home & When to go:

To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a maximum budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. DOG FRIENDLY - Second Row ...Ruff Life beach cottage. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
To make certain damages are not linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did your family have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
