Tricks and tips to get the very best Southport vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for 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 overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking your Southport vacation home:

• First, have your family select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Walking Distance to the Beach 2 Bed 1 Bath Beach Cottage on beautiful Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your trip.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. message the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
