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

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To book the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose the best Southport rental home:

• Start by having your family decide on trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Sand Castle, 9 bedroom,6 1\/2 bath,sleep 26, pool, hottub, elevator, beach close has 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
