Our top Oak Island vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach 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 contain discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• Begin by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 3BR\/2BA Duplex - Oceanfront, Gazebo, Close to Shops, Dining, FUN, Sleeps 8 has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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.
