The Island/beach:

o Sunset is usually ultra peaceful
o Bring a good book, walking shoes and beach chairs
o The beach is very wide and is great for walking.
o The Ends of the beach are great places for treasure hunting, we find all sorts of animals and shells. Plan for a low or falling tide for the best results
o The Jetty is about 2 miles from the home on the far west end. It is a fun walk (that’s the only way to get there) and many times we find starfish, sand dollars. You can walk around the jetty and join the boaters picnicking and partying during pretty weather. Along the way watch for a mailbox in the dunes called “Kindred Spirit”. Plan to sit and appreciate the notes left by others or leave your thoughts on one of the notebooks you will find there.
o At the East end- very close to us, the treasure hunting is fun- It looks like you could walk to Ocean Isle but beware, the tide comes in fast and is very strong.
o Bikes are a good activity and can be rented on the island.
o The pier has a nominal cost but is fun to check out the fishermen and their catch.
o Across the bridge Oyster Bay golf course has numerous roadside ponds and lakes. Drive slowly or pull over to photograph some enormous alligators basking in the sun.
o There is a modest grocery store on the island- limited selection, higher prices – beautiful and tons of fun!
o Food Lion is just across the bridge with Lowe’s close also
o Ocean Isle is about 10 mins. away
o Calabash is about 10 mins. away
o North Myrtle about 20 mins. away
o Just relax and have fun----
o You need to go to the west end of the beach road to see the Sunset one evening it is breath taking!

Tips to get the very best Wrightsville Beach vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer is high season in Sunset Beach. To book the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Wrightsville Beach attractions.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best vacation home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. If You Really Want To Relax............. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach beach you are crazy about, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
