About this Property

The Krusty Krab is an old fashioned, no frills 1960's beach bungalow. Adore a brilliant view of the Atlantic from the porch - walk down the steps and your feet are in the sand! We come here to appreciate the beach, relax and 'unplug', so this is a 'low tech' home. There is a TV in the living room with cable, but there are not T.V. sets in the individual bedrooms. There is NO WI-FI (unless you catch the unsecured connection a few doors down!) The home is thoroughly supplied as it is our second home and pleasantly sleeps 6 which is the max. occupancy. Come, sit and rock on the porch and savor the beauty of the beach! NO smoking or family dogs and cats please! Please contact owner for more information or with any questions.

Where to find and book the best vacation home:

Before you start to book "Look for Special Weekday Rates in Sept & Oct!", examine our short collection of issues to consider.

Begin Your Search Early

Wrightsville Beach rentals are reserved months (and up to a year) in advance. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months in advance is usually recommended, when possible. Holiday gatherings are a popular time for family groups to plot their Summer family vacations..

Select your Area and Travel Week

Start by figuring out which specific area of Wrightsville Beach you would like to visit, and the approximate trip dates.

Choosing an Properly-Sized Rental

Take a head count. How many beds and bedrooms will you be needing? Bear in mind that most rental homes advertise maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in the family room. It is important to figure out what is suitable for the party. Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are typically available on the internet. If not, communicate with the property manager before you book.

Decide on Your Budget

Many rental homes are advertised with a price range. Determine the cost for your preferred stay. It may be at the top end of the range. If a few groups or loved ones are sharing the cost, ensure each group knows their responsibilities and has agreed to a maximum they are willing to contribute. One individual in your group must be in charge of getting repayments and accepting responsibility for the entire rental cost at time of booking.

Rental Home Amenities

What amenities is the family searching for? Is a screened deck a requirement? Do you desire to be away from it all, or close to civilization? Are extras like beach chairs, grills, beach umbrellas, beach carts or coolers at your disposal and included in your rental home rate? Make a list of priority amenities to guide narrow your search.

Accessibility and Special Factors to consider

Suitable accessibility could make or ruin a trip for the less-mobile. Make sure to remember and inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and special equipment requirements..

Take the Dog

Remember to include your pets. Animal friends are welcome at a number of rental homes, but guidelines can vary. Ensure that you study agreements and contracts carefully. Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract. Ask questions *before* you reserve!

Searching the Internet

A number of internet resources exist to match clients with rental home owners..

Apart from offering distinctive rental properties, local companies provide you with top-notch service..

Negotiate the Price

When you've identified the rentalhome of your dreams, make sure your trip dates are available.

While not true for all rental properties, many owners and property managers will negotiate rates. If the price isn't negotiable, the number of nights might be. Your easiest opportunity for a lower rate will be shifting to a less desirable week.

Cancellation Policies

Trip insurance, which typically costs between 1% - 5% of your standard rental home cost, provides guests with reimbursement of their vacation costs (and subsequent rental costs) for any days missed due to personal medical emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as a unforeseen motel stay or additional gas.

Complete the Reservation

When you think you've found "the one", start the booking process. You'll probably have to submit a security deposit at time of booking.

Know Who to Call

Put the property manager's contact info into your phone and wallet for easy access to answers during your stay.

Good job on reserving your rental! You're on the right path to a fabulous vacation!

During your Stay

• Take notes of any damage immediately after you arrive. If you discover problems, or if repairs are required call the property manager straight away.
• You may need instructions for a fireplace, TV or spa. Get in touch with your rental manager. They are there to assist. A quick phone call avoids many hassles.
• Remember to respect your neighbors. Many times, adjacent residences are filled by permanent residents. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your primary residence.
• Ask a local. Local people are a great source of tips. Who better to ask where to order the best chicken wings, have a great date night, or the best places for wildlife?
• Make sure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Check Out Time

• Double-check every space of the rental home to make certain that you've packed all possessions.
• Make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. Whenever possible, do this walk-out review with the property owner present. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a blast? Nearly all vacation rental sites request feedback after your stay . Rental owners and rental managers will thank you for favorable recommendations. If something was wrong and they did not fix it in a practical manner, or if the property was not as described, you may want to make it a point as part of your critique.

Learn and Improve

Hold a debrief with your family. Does everyone want to re-book next year? Maybe everything ended up being wonderful and you are happy to re-book the same property for your next vacation. If not, you have acquired invaluable experience that can help with another search.
