Rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the largest rental within budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking a perfect Southport rental:

• To start, have your group agree to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. BURDEN'S END in OIB - 3 minutes to sand! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
