About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1500 square feet

This home is filled with all the amenities you could want. We've just installed the very best whole-home water softner and dechlorinater and added a king sized bed and a bigger intelligent tv in the living room. The linens and towels are supplied and of top quality. In wall vacuum and walk in showers, this one floor home is top notch.

With the ocean out your front door and the lake, eateries, coffee stores and boardwalk out your back door (not to mention farmers market, live music and even outdoor movie nights), it's impossible to find a better location than this first floor oceanfront home on a peaceful one way street.

You'll have a boardwalk from your sliding glass doors straight to the waves, and when you've had enough sun and sand you can walk Carolina Beach boardwalk, sip an iced coffee or eat ice cream in the shade. The summer carnival with Ferris Wheel and other rides is a short walk down the sand to the left, and to the right is a beach bar where you can sip drinks on an elevated pier.


You'll see the Carolina beach fireworks from your front porch every Thursday in summer, and in the winter a glance up the beach from your rocker will show you the Christmas lights on the boardwalk where every Friday Santa offers hot chocolate to visitors.


HOME DESCRIPTION

The 3br/2ba home is brand new and decorated in a modern style. We've put a brand new king size bed in the master, and a new queen bed in the second bedroom. Comfy! No family pets, no smoking and no carpet means it's good for people with allergies, and the open plan modern kitchen is a enjoyment to prepare in while still gazing out the windows to the ocean (please note that we've added more silverware and cookware at the request of previous guests).

The master bedroom has windows to the ocean, a delicious king size bed and a enormous walk in tiled shower with bench. The two guest bedrooms, one with a new queen bed and a second with sizable bunk bed and double sized trundle (room sleeps 5) share a modern bathroom with window. Both rooms have vistas to the lake. The home is located on a peaceful one way street. You can rent bicycles and pedal anywhere on the island.

Intelligent tvs, blueray DVD player, internet, full sized washer and dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, keruig coffee maker -- all the amenities! We just upgraded the T.V. in the living room to a bigger intelligent tv.

Close by there are paddle board units, surf lessons, bicycles and kayak tours. There are also fishing guides and boat tours available from the harbor a half mile away. Drive down to the aquarium or take the ferry to Southport of the afternoon and have a seafood lunch on the water after walking through historic streets.

Sheets and towels are supplied. Please bring beach towels, beach toys and chairs.

Please note, as stated above, the home is the first floor only. It is cavernous and private, but note that the top two floors (with a separate front door) are occupied by long term renters.

Saturday is our preferred check in and out day over the high season, and normally we cannot stray from that.

Rental home tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To get the best rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking your Wrightsville Beach rental:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sleek and Modern Oceanfront home: walk to restaurants and boardwalk! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before booking your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach attraction you crave, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
