Welcome to your next great family vacation! We think you will adore staying at our home and appreciating all of the fun in the sun that Pleasure Island has to offer. Here's why.

1. It's hard to beat the location.

Our home sits across the street from the bay and just one short block from the beach. We timed our walks with two young kids: 2 mins. and 45 seconds from our driveway to the sand! You'll walk about the same distance to launch your kayak or paddle board at the public access point on the bay. Great eateries like Britts Donuts and all the fun of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk are only 0.7 miles away.

2. The vistas are exceptional.

Appreciate a morning cup of coffee or evening sunset as you watch the boats sail past from one of our massive decks that overlook the water. Head out to the comfortable deck facing the ocean and listen to the waves, or escape to the crow's nest above the top floor and take in a full view of the ocean and Carolina Beach.

3. You'll have no trouble parking.

When you drive up, you'll find 100 feet of private parking in the carport and driveway—enough for 5-6 cars depending on what you drive. The carport also has plenty of space for storing any beach chairs and toys you bring from home. And unlike most properties in the area, we have a backyard that's ideal for games and calming.

4. You'll have access to a private elevator.

Our unit occupies the top 2 floors of a 3-story building, and the building itself is lifted. Walk up two flights of stairs or ride the private elevator from the carport to get to the main entrance on the 2nd floor or the 3rd floor living space.

5. There is a room for everybody...

Our home has 5 bedrooms (11 beds) and 5 full bathrooms.

Main floor:
BR1 has a king bed, sleeper couch, enclosed full bathroom, and it opens onto the deck
BR2 has a queen bed and enclosed full bathroom

Top level:
BR3 faces the bay and opens up onto a 32x8 deck. This room is set up like a second living room and has more than 400sq ft of living space. Two couches in front of the fireplace open into beds. Across the room, you'll find a double bed and a single bed near the entrance to the enclosed full bathroom. There is also a rollaway twin in the closet. The room effortlessly sleeps 8—a ideal spot for kids.
BR4 has a king bed and an enclosed full bathroom with hallway access
BR5 has a queen bed and a sleeper couch

6. ...and everybody will have a seat at the table.

On the main level you'll find an open floor plan kitchen and living room that opens onto another 32x8 deck. The indoor dining table seats 10, and there is additional seating for 6 at the bar, 6 at the game table in the living room, and 14 on the deck. No one will have trouble finding a seat! The kitchen has everything you need to make simple meals and enough serving dishes, glassware, and silverware for 18.

7. Our home is family friendly.

If you have kids, you'll find that our home offers a few family-friendly perks that most other places do not. In addition to a closet full of toys and games that your kids can savor—and an Xbox hooked up to the TV in the upstairs bedroom/living room—we have multiple things that parents will appreciate:
* Pack-and-play (sheet not supplied)
* Infant monitor
* White noise machine
* Retractable gates attached to the top and bottom of the stairs
* Convertible booster seat (6 months to 4 years)

8. We have tons of amenities to make your stay fun and cozy, including starter amounts of dishwasher pods, dishwashing soap, whole bean coffee, creamer, sugar packets, and 2-in-1 body wash+shampoo.

But it's important to note that bath towels and bed linens are NOT supplied. If you want to save some money and bring what you need from home, be our guest. You are welcome to use the washer and dryer on the main floor (just remember to bring detergent). We have pillows for 18 (all with protective covers) and comforters.

If you'd rather have fresh towels, linens, and bathmats waiting for you when you arrive, we can connect you with our local partner Oceanside Linens. They make it simple to customize your towel/linen rental order online and pay directly.

Alternatively, we can take care of everything for you if you add Oceanside's Premier Linen package to your reservation. This $350 rental package includes bath towels for 18, 5 bath mats, and fresh linens for all 11 beds.

How to get the best vacation home experience:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the perfectrental home:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 3600sqft, 5bath, 5br, 11 bed, elevator, <600ft to beach, between ocean and canal has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach beach you simply love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
