  • Private vacation home

Only a fool would think this is NOT heaven! This handsome inverted floor plan canal home (1K, 4Q, 1FT) has both character and space! Sleeps 11. The first-floor bedroom has a private bath and French doors that open to the deck with a striking marsh view.

Appreciate expansive vistas of the ocean, marsh, and Intracoastal Waterway from the 32 feet top floor deck. Catch the ocean breeze and watch the wild deer come out at sunset for a drink from the marsh. Unwind on one of the covered porches. Take advantage of the enormous deck on the canal with a floating dock to anchor your boat after a bountiful day on the water. Bring your own fishing rods and crab nets; fish right off the dock! Blue crabs, and occasionally a stone crab will show up in your nets. Beach access is across from Marlin St., about a 5-min. walk (380 yards).

Everyone will adore having comfortably furnished living areas with huge flat-screen HDTVs on both levels. The primary bedroom on the second level has a private bath and additional den with a futon for sleeping. The kitchen is completely equipped with a sizable eat-in counter for 6 and the dining room has table seating for 10. Outdoor charcoal grille in the backyard. Additional deck on the canal, and outdoor shower on the ground floor for guests' use. Please note that the boat lift is not included with the rental of this home.

Embrace the warmth of southern 'Hobbspitality'! Savor a welcome set of starter amenities, including one roll of paper towels, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, dish soap, and a sponge. All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds! While we provide a lightweight blanket, we urge you to bring additional layers for your comfort. Please note that while top bunk beds, trundles, sleeper couches, futons, and daybeds will not be made, we will provide fresh linens for them.

As a gift to you, this home offers a $250 credit for you to select top-quality beach gear for your vacation stay. You can choose from a range of items including bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, body boards, and more. Simply select the gear you want for your vacation at least 48 hours before your scheduled check-in date, and VayK Gear will take care of the rest! Please note, a modest delivery fee may apply. Available when you stay between May 1 through the end of September.

This homeowner uses video monitors on the exterior of the property with intelligent doorbell cameras and/or exterior cameras. Hobbs Realty does not allow interior cameras or exterior cameras to monitor swimming pools, hot tubs, or outside showers.

Absolutely no family pets nor smoking allowed on this property.

Strategies to get the very best rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

  • Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
  • Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
  • Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

  • Select your vacation week and spending budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Hobbs Realty - \"Fool's Paradise\" an island home on the canal with boat dock, 2 living rooms and great water views! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
  • If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach beach you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
  • If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

  • Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
  • Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
  • Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
  • Did your family have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
