Our top Oak Island vacation rental booking tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer special 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 guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oak Island Cottage: Minutes to Long Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Tips for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled 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! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
