Of note, this is Coastal NC, and we have "palmetto bugs" which are giant waterbugs that live by the thousands outside. Open doors or windows will allow painless entry to these opportunists...and they are ugly. Having moved from the midwest, we know they are awful to see, but we are used to seeing them outside now. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent our guests from seeing one of these occasionally indoors, as we treat for them often, and this causes them to come inside looking for shade and water as they die. That being said, we do not offer a refund to a guest who sees a palmetto bug in our units.

We strongly suggest purchasing private travel insurance as we do not offer refunds for trip interruptions or weather. Hurricane season runs from June 1-November 30 in NC, with most activity in September and October. If Wilmington evacuates before your stay begins, then we would certainly refund.

Our top Wilmington rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Coastal Retreat, 9 Min to the Beach, 12 Min to Downtown Riverwalk has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.

• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
