Tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Yacht View: Serene, Dog-friendly Home on Intracoastal Waterway has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
