Booking the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking your Wrightsville Beach rental:

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Barbee Beach House: A Peaceful Vacation Home for a Large, Active Group has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the host before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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 vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct 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.
