New for 2024! Appreciate a warm soak on a cool evening with an expanded deck and privacy fence featuring a Dreammaker Comfort 2300L hot tub. This five to six-person hot tub has 23 adjustable jets that target shoulders, back muscles and feet for a massaging hydrotherapy experience. Also, a handy foot wash by the tub steps helps to keep it clean and comfortable for all guests.

Unwind on the front porch as you sip your morning coffee and appreciate the island breeze or take your dog for a leisurely walk on the shaded streets. Just inside the front door, the nautical-themed living room is a cozy place to recoup after a long day on the beach. Two armchairs and a chaise couch provide plenty of seating space to gather around the sizable flat screen TV to cheer on your favorite team or watch a movie together.

The entirely supplied eat-in kitchen features a sturdy dining table that seats six and everything you need to prepare the catch of the day. There’s even enough counterspace for more than one chef to work if your haul was particularly impressive!

The master bedroom has a king bed and its own wall-mounted flat screen TV with a DVD player for your entertainment. A recliner and lamp create a peaceful nook for reading or napping. The attached private bath has a roomy walk-in closet with plenty of storage space and a tub/shower combo.

The second bedroom has a queen bed and is just across from the final bedroom, which has two twin beds. Between these rooms is a full bath with shared hall access and a standard tub/shower combo.

The backyard provides ample outdoor living space and amenities. Entirely fenced, kids and dogs can play worry-complimentary while your group gathers around the fire pit for conversation. Cool off in the above-ground pool, conveniently accessible from the raised decking just outside your back door. A canopy ensures shaded deck space at any time of day, complete with optional screen walls and a ceiling fan to reinforce the sea breeze. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and additional dining seating for six if you prefer eating al fresco.

When it’s time to hit the sand, you’re only a short three-min. drive from the nearest public beach access, which can also be reached in less than 15 mins. by foot. And once you’ve returned from the beach, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes cleaning up to discover island dining options or close by Southport simple and convenient.

Soak in the slower pace of island life and savor time with friends and family. Float beneath Carolina blue skies as you listen to the music of rustling oak leaves. Make memories that last a lifetime during an idyllic vacation at A Great Place to Stay!

Our top Rental property booking tips:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick your prefect Wrightsville Beach vacation home:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. A Great Place to Stay: Cozy, Dog-Friendly Cottage with Private Pool has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, call the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.

• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
