It’s also only a 1-min. walk to the beach and an simple walk along the beach to the Tiki Bar & Grille. The Gaudy Pelican cannot be matched for location, comfort, and amenities.

As you enter the main floor, you will find your welcome basket, filled with goodies just for you! The living room has vaulted ceilings, plenty of seating, a wall-mounted intelligent TV, and a propane fireplace for those cooler comfortable evenings. There’s even a full-sized pullout couch, just in case. There's a bar height counter and a pantry that features a wine refrigerator. The dining area has an upsized table, a bar table, and tons of windows.

Down to the ground level you'll discover a cavernous bedroom/playroom, “Turtley Awesome”, featuring a wall mounted intelligent TV, bean bag chairs, toys & games, a triple bunk bed, a single bed, and a pullout couch. There’s plenty of room to play ping pong in the attached garage where you can also store all your beach gear. The garage is also equipped with a beach wagon, chairs, an umbrella, and towels for the beach. We’ve even supplied a few bicycles for getting around town on the many bicycle trails found in Carolina Beach.

Also on the ground floor is an over-sized washer and dryer, iron & ironing board, and drying racks. Less fun but very convenient!

On the second floor is the master bedroom suite, “Crab-ulous”, that has a king-sized bed, a private bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, dual sinks, a roomy walk-in closet, and its own access to the sundeck.

This floor also contains a second bedroom, “Fin-tastic”, with a king-sized bed, vistas overlooking the pool, and an alcove to read or just hide. The alcove couch is also a pullout bed.

All the way at the top, you’ll find an office set up for your convenience, with dual monitors, wireless keyboard, mouse and fast WiFi. We know it’s your vacation, but sometimes we all need to check in, read an e-mail, take a Zoom meeting, or at least appear to be working. It’s here if you need it. We suggest you don’t. Sit by the pool or wander to the beach. It’s so close!

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach 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 your favorite beach.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
