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 marvelous 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 amazing 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!

How to find the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Summer is high season in Wilmington. To get the best rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Traveling with pets? 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 host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.

• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!

• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
