Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

When to book a Wrightsville Beach rental home & When to go:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Holden Beach. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
