Great oceanfront private home, owner designed and managed, with fabulous oceanfront beach vistas and beach strand. March 2024 brought more sand on our beach from a beach renourishment project. Short walk from home to stairs over the protective dunes to nice broad beach strand. Supplemental pool heat with new heater (March '24), (if needed for modest fee) private pool. Heated pool is open March into November. Over 80% of my renters are repeats, many multiple years. Send inquiries for winter / spring 2025, or for the very few summer weeks which aren't rebooked by multi-year repeats. Digital Nomads welcome through part of the fall/winter/spring. We have high-speed fiber-based internet which can support "work-from-anywhere" and remote learning. It's nice when you take a break or end your work /school day to take a walk on broad beach which you are sharing with only a handful of others.
Beach is open, beach strand is in GREAT shape following a major beach renourishment finished in March 2024.
Re : Pool, Solar blanket and southern exposure (w/new pool heater optional possible very reasonable /surcharge applies) will warm the private pool. Take a short walk over (stairs over) dunes to broad beach. Pelican Watch is named in honor of the brown pelicans who fly by on the updrafts from ocean winds off the dune-ridge along the beach.

ELEVATOR, with new "Ethan's Law" gate serves top floor which is main living level and one oceanfront bedroom suite. Elevator does NOT stop at lower living level which has 3 bedrooms.

House has 4 bedrooms, 3 facing oceanfront, 3.5 baths inside, & enclosed outside shower w/ hot/cold H2O. Glass-paneled back deck off modest sitting area on main living area offers privacy/protection from ocean breezes and nice vistas of Lockwood Folly Inlet.

Vacation rental home tips:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Holden Beach. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront,Winter sun rises\/sets on ocean, EV, Elevator, Heated pool opens March has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
