Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming Beach Cottage-1 block to beach/boardwalk has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach beach you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
