Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wrightsville Beach rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect rental home:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Cheerful Coastal Cottage, Minutes to the Beaches has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If not, call the host before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
