Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Bald Head Island vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Wrightsville Beach rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• 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 shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Booking NOW for Summer 2024 @ \"MERRYTIME\" has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach beach you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
