Tricks and tips for getting the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. BHI Coastal Cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is right for your group.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
