Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Newly renovated dog friendly beach cottage at Oak Island, with beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
