The living room provides plenty of comfortable seating to watch a favorite movie together on the huge flatscreen TV, or savor a game of cards around the coffee table while soaking in the extraordinary view instead! You’ll find a roomy dining table that comfortably seats eight located between the living room and kitchen, with bar stools available at the kitchen counter for additional seating. The modern kitchen is completely equipped for preparing your favorite meals or fresh catch of the day.

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation home.

Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection.

Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.
