Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer time is high season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking a perfect Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Ocean Haze - Oceanview Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach attraction you crave, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
