Getting the best rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wrightsville Beach. To book the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for local tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Wrightsville Beach:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the host right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
