Our top Rental home tips:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the perfect rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Modern Family Retreat: Hot Tub & Fire Pit has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you are enamored with, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
