Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of 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 and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Enjoy spectacular views from \"The Spring House,\" gorgeous home with a private heated swimming pool! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
