Happy Honu (with a nod to the Hawaiian green sea turtle, known as a majestic link between man, land and sea), is a striking five bedroom / 5.5 bath home located in Cape Fear Station. This reverse floor plan design includes three bedrooms downstairs: one cavernous master bedroom with private bath and a king bed. The second downstairs bedroom consists of a queen bed as well as its own private bath. The third bedroom has a double and twin bunkbed with an additional pull-out queen bed and an attached bathroom. There is also a sizable relaxing deck on the main, lower level as well as a roomy screened porch that can be accessed off both the queen and master bedrooms. Upstairs welcomes you into a enormous great room; a spacious, very well outfitted kitchen; dining room with seating for eight at the table and an additional five seats at the counter (including a highchair for little ones); a half bath and a huge master suite with a king bed and its own private bathroom. The upper deck off the living room is one of the all-time favorite spots where guests can relax on the outdoor couch and seating area or dine at the welcoming table for eight. Appreciate this splendid, covered area with your family dinners or cup of early morning coffee.

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

Finding the best value:

• To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the best vacation home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Welcome to Happy Honu has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
