Our top Vacation rental home tips:

When to go & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year 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 the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Wrightsville Beach attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional 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 frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best rental in Oak Island:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Modern Family Retreat: Hot Tub & Fire Pit has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
