Tips to get the optimal Southport vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Surf Watch: Oceanfront House in East Beach With Covered Gazebo has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
