Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.

You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
