Rental booking tips:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?

• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews.
