Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. A Summer's Dream in Carolina Beach - steps to beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Some properties allow pets, but some 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 pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• To make sure damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
