Tips to get the optimal Southport vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best rental home in Oak Island:

• First, have your family agree to date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 5BR\/3.5BA Home - 2nd Row, Pool, Tiki Bar, Ocean Views, Beach, Sleeps 13 has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you long to visit, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent 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! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
