Sticking to your spending budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.

• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
