Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• To find the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming Cottage! Open space with coastal theme. Centrally located. has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If not, email the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your invoice.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
