Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
