Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. To find the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Ocean View - Family Friendly - Steps to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out 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.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
