Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation rental in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Start by having your family select vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Compass Rose - Luxury Beach Home - Stunning Views of Ocean & Waterway! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Call the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. 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. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
