Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Oak Island. Book your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• 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 visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation home:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Statehouse: Oceanview beach cottage in East Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. 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.
