Availability varies by home listing, and during the summer season, memberships may sell out quickly. To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend securing your club membership as early as possible.

Additionally, the Bald Head Island ferry system is independently operated and not affiliated with BHI Vacations. To ensure a smooth arrival and departure, we encourage guests to book ferry and tram reservations well in advance.

Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Shell Seeker - NEW for 2025! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
