Our top Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Summer months are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best value, change your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5-Minute Walk to Beach & Boardwalk, Private Porch! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
