Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking yourrental home:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. EXCEPTIONAL HOME, WALK TO: E BEACH, MIKE'S BITES, SHOAL'S, COMMON & CONSERVANCY has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation family.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
