Tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Ocean Isle Beach. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• First, have your group commit to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Relax and Unwind at the TipSea Turtle — 1.2 Miles from Ocean Isle Beach has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
