Strategies to get the best Bald Head Island rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental home:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Luxe & Family Friendly - Kayak Our Dock, 2 Clubs has 3 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. Otherwise, contact the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach attraction you are crazy about, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

During your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
