Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Surfside Retreat: 3BR, 2Bath upper duplex has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
