Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Bald Head Island rental experience:

When to visit Bald Head Island & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

How to select the perfect rental in Bald Head Island:

• To start, have your family commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Sea Horse Cottage 2.5 Bedroom BHI Creek Front - Marsh front Expansive vi has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• 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 find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
