Finding the best Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cape Fear’s Original 1908 Historic Getaway has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your group.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or might be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
