Our top Rental property booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by having your family agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Holden Beach House w\/ Boat Dock: Steps to Beach! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective.
