Tips for getting the best Wrightsville Beach vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, shift your family's Wrightsville Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Tilly's Cottage\/Fenced Yard\/ Coffee Bar has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
