Getting the best vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing and booking your Wrightsville Beach rental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ocean Views Great Location, Dog friendly Condo, Only 200 steps to Beach, No Parking Fees has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach destination you love, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. 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 reasonably to fix it.
