Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve 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 host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Heart of Downtown- pet-friendly ILM retreat! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. text the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
