Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Oak Island & When to book:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. 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 local information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 2nd Row, 6BR, 3BA, Huge Heated Pool, separate Cottage, Dog-Friendly has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If not, call the host before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently 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?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
