How to get the best rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best rental in Wilmington:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Cozy Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC Nestled among The Cove Villas has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address 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 comments.
