Strategies to get the very best Wrightsville Beach vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Oak Island rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. 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 guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• To start, have your family choose the best dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Dolphy Daze: Beachwalk condo with pool and elevator access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
