This beautiful area is ideal for leisurely walks, porch sitting with a cup of coffee, and soaking in the modest-town ambiance.

Many guests have described our neighborhood as where “Gilmore Girls” meets “The Andy Griffith Show” – a friendly, walkable community with a enchanting mix of classic homes.

(Fun fact: The home two doors down was featured as Lucas Scott’s home in the hit TV show One Tree Hill! A little piece of Wilmington’s Hollywood history.)

Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently 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 shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
