During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series.

Strategies to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for local tours and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• First and foremost, have your group choose trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanview Pet Friendly Condo at Southern Sands has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible online. If not, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. message the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
