Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Bring Your Furry Family Members! Just Minutes From The Beach - Beach Gear, Bikes and Char. Grill has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you long to visit, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• 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 take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
