Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking 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 coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking the best Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Driftwood Cottage - First floor OCEANFRONT beach retreat! Exceptional views, location and privacy by RedAwning has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
