How to book the best Oak Island rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the rightrental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Cozy Cottage 10 min walk to the beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
