Strategies to get the best vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Serene island escape with two balconies & spacious layout - walk to beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.

• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
