Rental booking tips:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. To get the best rental within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Wrightsville Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Updated 4 BR home in Cape Fear Station by East Beach with access to Shoals Club has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach beach you are enamored with, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. message the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
