Strategies for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer is high season in Oak Island. To find the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking the bestrental home:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 2 Bdrm\/2 Bath Condo, Pool, Elevator, Close To Beach!, Sleeps 7 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
