DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE BEACH ISLAND BUM:
We are a 1,300 sq/ft cape-cod with tons of appeal, I am sure from time-to-time will have some minor imperfections. We are not a luxury stay nor do we intend to be, our goal is to be a comfortable, simple and cozy so you have a fun and relaxing vacation!

Our cleaner does an magnificant job of cleaning but given we are dog friendly as our property is, and the fact that we are humans there is a possibility of a human error, if there is an issue during your stay let us know and they will come back to address it!

We do not have any control over things that happen outside our property lines or the weather. We highly recommend that all guests obtain trip insurance

The host will be available through phone, text and e-mail. In case of an emergency a local team member can assist in person.

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your best deal:

• To get the best value, change your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for local tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• First, have your group decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. BEACH ISLAND BUM Cozy Cape Code, Pet Friendly Short, Walk to Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
