Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• First, have your group select a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ohana Tides has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. message the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
