Tips for getting the best Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• To start, have your group decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Figure Eight Island/Gorgeous Sunsets Overlooking Sound With Deep Water Dock has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If not, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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 thoroughly! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
