Finding the best Oak Island rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Southport restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Marsh: Cozy Cottage with Beautiful Marsh Views, Short Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's an individual Southport beach you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
