When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation.

• In the Southport area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early.

• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.

Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
