Tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Renovated 4BR 2.5BA Duplex (lower unit), Walk to Beach, Sleeps 8 has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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 comments.
