Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Southport rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Saltwater Pool Complete by Feb 1st, 2025, Wonderful Island Retreat, Optional Golf Cart has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Southport beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
