Location! Location! Location! Welcome to our luxury beach home, North Star. Located directly across from public beach access Periwinkle, with gorgeous vistas of the ocean from every floor, and a few blocks walk to Freeman Park. Going fishing? No need to pack up your supplies in the truck and worry about parking! Just step across the street and you are ready to see what great fishing the Atlantic has to offer. Take a 7 min. walk to the Carolina Beach Pier where you can appreciate a bonfire, drinks and great food at their restaurant and Tiki bar! Appreciate the ease of beachfront living complete with beach essentials (beach wagon, umbrellas, body boards, toys, and more!) AND private outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun.

The Space:
The interior features bamboo floors and tile throughout. The impressive kitchen is complete with limestone countertops, bespoke cabinetry, Viking appliances, and counter seating with four stools. The kitchen comes completely outfitted with everything you need to prepare and entertain. From serving platters, cookware, a pancake griddle, and tableware for toddlers and modest kids, North Star has it all. An additional wine bar includes a Viking wine/drink refrigerator and blender and all drinking water in our home is filtered through a reverse osmosis filtration system!

The handsome open concept living room features high ceilings, a 70” TV with Roku, a surround sound system, and ample seating. Sit down for meals in the dining room with a huge table and chairs to seat 8. Surrounded by windows that overlook the ocean. A balcony off the living area overlooks the ocean and includes a table and chairs for four to savor breakfast, lunch, or just to read a good book to the sight and sound of the waves crashing.

Off of the kitchen is a screened in porch with a dining table that seats six. Savor playing cards, doing puzzles, or sharing a meal outdoors out of the sun, with the ocean breeze passing by!

Continue through the screened in porch to walk up the lit stairway, to behold the crown jewel of this home – the rooftop deck! Freshly installed WearDeck composite decking that deflects heat and keeps feet from splinters makes this a joy to lounge on. Chaise lounge chairs, as well as other chairs make for a comfortable spot to enjoy the vista. Take dinner up to dine at the bar with a granite countertop, or relax with some lemonade, chips and salsa in the afternoon. For early risers, you won't want to miss taking in the sunrise from the rooftop! Or turn on the speakers that pipe in music from the living room sound system onto the rooftop and play your favorite tunes as you watch the sunset over the canal in the evening.

Our top Wrightsville Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

Get the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect rental:

• First, have your group agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Ocean Views + Rooftop! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, contact the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
