Rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property 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 offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Selecting and booking the right Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Backyard Oasis with Saltwater Pool & Steps to the Beach: TipSea Pelican has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
