Rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing your prefect Wrightsville Beach vacation home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Backyard Oasis with Saltwater Pool & Steps to the Beach: TipSea Pelican has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
