On Thursday nighttime in the summer there are fireworks from the beach and complimentary family movies at the close by lake on Sundays - check for updates on activities before and during your stay.

Rent or bring your bicycle (bicycle rack on south side of building next to beach access path) and ride through New Green Way trail which can be accessed about ¼ mile up South Carolina Ave. Or, if you prefer hiking, head out to the wooded trails at the Carolina Beach State Park which runs along a riverbed. Either location is also great for running.

Visit The Carolina Beach Marina and take a sightseeing cruise or charter fishing expedition. Anglers, the fishing is great! Fish on the beach, from the pier, catch a head boat, charter a boat, or launch your own at a public launch. There are many water sports to enjoy. You can rent or bring your own equipment for snorkeling, surfing and boating adventures.

Visit the North Carolina Aquarium located at the south end of the island or take a short ferry ride to Southport for the day, where you can enjoy quaint shopping, sightseeing and phenomenal local seafood dining on the water. Historic Wilmington, on the Cape Fear River only 20 mins. away, is where you'll find the USS North Carolina Battleship, ghost walks, horse drawn carriage rides, boat excursions, waterfront eateries, antique stores, and more.

These are just a few reasons why visitors appreciate returning to Carolina Beach at all times of the year. For more information, please refer to the Carolina Beach website at https://www.carolinabeach.org/

Tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking your prefect Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Fully Upgraded for 2024! Huge Deck, Full-Size Pool, Beach Front, Linens Included has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach beach you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
