Tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect rental home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Beach Fact Oar: Sunny Beach Cottage with Expansive Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix 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.
