Getting the best Wilmington rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book the rightrental:

• First and foremost, have your family select dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Cape Fear’s Original 1908 Historic Getaway has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email the host before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
