  • Private vacation home

Aquarium #159 is a cavernous sound front home that is really a boater’s heaven. Top location on Wrightsville Beach for a family beach and boat vacation on the peaceful, peaceful South Lumina. This home offers it all and is a rare find as it features spectacular sound and ocean vistas from four decks and a private deep-water boat slip, dock, and gazebo on Banks Channel. There’s a calm, secluded beach at low tide on the sound side, and convenient beach access is just a 5-min. walk away. Entertainment options are countless with a ping pong table, board games, and plenty of water toys and games to play on the beach. Walk to Crystal Pier, eateries, and coffee stores such as Oceanic and Sundays, or check out the local surf stores only .5 miles from the home.

Offering an open floor plan designed to highlight the water vistas, this home has a seamless flow ideal for gathering. In the living room, you will savor the natural light, vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating, a constructed-in TV, and board games. Fit for a chef, the open kitchen has a enormous island with bar stool seating for 8, white cabinetry, high-end appliances, a wet bar and wine refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry. Behind the kitchen and adjacent to the pantry is a door to access the front porch that looks out to the street and neighborhood. There are two dining tables, each seat 6. Appreciate an afternoon or evening sound-side sunset gathering on the broad back porch that can be accessed from the living room.

Six bedrooms, all with deck access and ensuite bathrooms, invite you to relax and recharge during your vacation. There is one bedroom on the main living area level (1st floor) and provides a queen-sized bed, a TV, and deck access that looks out to the street. Ascend the stairs to the second level, where you will find three additional bedrooms: one with a queen-sized bed (sound view), one with two twin-sized beds (street facing), and one with a king-sized bed (street facing). (Please note: the bedroom with the two twin beds does NOT have a closet.) A queen-sized pull out couch is located on this floor as well. The third floor homes the primary master suite which has a king-sized bed, a TV, a roomy ensuite bathroom with double vanities and a walk-in shower, and a wet bar with a refrigerator. The master suite has a private deck looking out to the sound. The sixth and final bedroom is also located on the top floor and has two twin-sized beds and an additional-long twin-sized daybed and a TV. Ocean vistas are prominent from this room, and deck access is available with both sound and ocean vistas.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a ping pong table, comfortable couches, an Xbox game console, and a half bathroom.

This home is equipped with an elevator, an outdoor shower, a grille, beach chairs, beach games, a water mat/float, a cooler, pack-n-play, a full-sized washer and dryer and more. The private dock has a fishing cleaning station with power and water. Please note this is a shared dock with neighbors. Guests can take in both sound and ocean vistas from multiple decks and a rooftop crows nest. There is parking in the driveway for 2-3 cars depending on size. For entertainment, high speed internet, multiple TVs, Cable TV, and an Xbox are supplied.

Cape Fear area vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

  • The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
  • Summer months are the most expensive season in Wrightsville Beach. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
  • Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
  • Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
  • Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking your Cape Fear area rental home:

  • Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Aquarium #159 - Soundfront Home on Wrightsville Beach w\/ Private Dock! has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
  • Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
  • Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
  • If there's a particular Cape Fear area beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

  • Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
  • Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
  • To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
  • Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did you have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
