Tricks and tips to get the perfect Oak Island vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. The Rectory: Beach Cottage Close to Recreation Center and Marsh Crossover to Oce has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you are crazy about, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, 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 property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
