Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting and booking a perfectvacation home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Lux Historic Dist. – Walking Distance to Riverwalk has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before booking your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
