Finding the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, change your vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best rental:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Perfect Little Beach Cottage for your stay on Oak Island has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
