Strategies for getting the perfect Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer time is high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Charming Beach Bungalow (9 min walk to beach) has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
