Spring time at the beach is approaching! We've got all the things you need for a calming time close to the beach & downtown, as well as the ambiance of your own fire pit for those cool evenings. Our camper is a vintage 1973 Holiday Vacationer (very fitting, huh?), & provides comfort, sustainable luxury, & a great photo-op! Located 15 mins. from Wrightsville Beach, 13 mins. from downtown, & just behind a 1.3 mile walking/cycling trail, & playground for kids.


The Holiday Homestead is designed to provide a unique hideaway while also taking care of the environment. We offer an indoor shower & outdoor shower, modest kitchenette, a well designed odor complimentary composting toilet, mini refrigerator, queen bed, and futon couch bed. There is an AC unit for the summer, as well as a fantastic space heater for the fall/winter months. We provide you with shampoos/conditioners/soaps that are all biodegradable, and a fantastic guidebook with how to use everything in the glamper.


There's a garden in the yard from which there might be fun fruits/veggies you can pick from to eat, and simple access to Smith Creek Park and just mins. to the beach. Feel complimentary to borrow our kayak at the park (just let us know so we can get you all set up with it). There is also a fire pit for those nice fall or springtime evenings.

This is a great little space to rest your head after an impressive concert in downtown Wilmington, or a long day at the beach! If you are interested in a later check out, or earlier check in please reach out to ask, it really just all depends on if we have more guests coming in right after you etc. Feel complimentary to message us and we'd be happy to let you know.

When you arrive there will be a guestbook and a guidebook waiting on your bed. Feel complimentary to sign the guestbook, and use the guidebook to understand all the nitty gritty of the camper and all the fun Wilmington spots.

We also have an additional outdoor office space that has a pull down Murphy bed that could be available to rent for an additional fee, just message us and we’d be happy to add that on so you can have more people stay with you.

For longer monthly stays we will supply you with your start of coffee and toilet paper but once you run out you are expected to provide your own. Also during monthly stays we will be coming in weekly at least to empty out the composting toilet or as needed. Thank you!

Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Wilmington. Reserve your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental home in Wilmington:

• To start, have your group choose date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Glamping near the Beach - Book the Holiday Homestead Today! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach attraction you are crazy about, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
