How to find the best Wrightsville Beach rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective.
