Getting the best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Wilmington. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Cape Fear Historic Haven has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
