Wrightsville Beach rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. Book your Wrightsville Beach rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home in Oak Island:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Dog-friendly home near the beach & Intracoastal with outdoor shower & deck has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is best for your trip.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach beach you long to visit, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
