How to book the best Oak Island vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Renovated 4BR 2.5BA Duplex (lower unit), Walk to Beach, Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you crave, keep an eye out for properties 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. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
