The best beach vacations are spent on Southern Horizons! Let your cares drift away as you float in the elevated ocean-facing pool, savor your morning coffee as you watch the waves from the private covered porch off the master suite, or walk along the shore to search for seaborne treasures via the beach access path right across the street.

The bright and airy living room includes cathedral ceilings that create a cavernous and welcoming ambiance. Cuddle up on the couches to watch the big game on the Roku TV as you appreciate the sound of waves crashing in the distance. The wooden dining table is set for six, with an additional four seats at the available breakfast bar. Tucked just around the corner, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare dinner for your crew or to get the day started on the right foot- a tea kettle, traditional drip coffee makers and a Keurig-style machine are all supplied. A half bath is also available off the common spaces for convenience, and a laundry closet homes a full-size washer and dryer for use during your stay.

The first of two master suites is also located on this level, furnished with a queen bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The attached private bathroom contains a standard tub/shower combo. All other bedrooms are on the second floor, and each also contains a private TV so there’s no need to fight over the remote in the evening! The second master suite provides a king bed and private standard bathroom, along with direct access to a private ocean-facing covered porch where you’re sure to find yourself spending at least a few moments at the start and end of each day. The final two bedrooms are each furnished with a double bed and a twin-over-double bunk bed and are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Outside, the front porch provides both covered and shaded areas. Savor peaceful conversation as you sway on classic rocking chairs or gather around the Polywood picnic table to enjoy a low country boil pot under the Carolina blue skies as sea breezes tease your hair. You can even catch some rays on the poolside loungers as the kids cool down in the pool without any waves to contend with. Underneath the home, an additional picnic table, rocking chairs and even a porch swing offer an additional shady respite. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing sand off after a trip to the beach painless, and if you prefer to prepare out, a charcoal grille is supplied. There’s plenty of parking available in the driveaway, including covered spaces. Gather your crew and embark on an adventure to Southern Horizons today!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront 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 loved ones at the beach.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Southern Horizons: Elevated Pool, Ocean Views, Near Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, email the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach destination you crave, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
