Tips to get the optimal Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer time is high season in Bald Head Island. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally 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 issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area 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 local information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in Bald Head Island:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Updated 2022 Decorated Cottage Sleeps 10 Shoals Club has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
