Getting the best Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your trip.

• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
