Wrightsville Beach requires an annual registration for all properties rented for less than 30 days, with a fee of $125. The town's zoning code imposes a strict 7-day minimum rental period. A key requirement is designating a local contact person available 24/7 who can respond to the property within 60 minutes.
To host an Airbnb in Wrightsville Beach, you must register with the town each year and pay a $125 fee. The most important rule is that you cannot rent your property for fewer than seven consecutive days, so weekend-only rentals are not allowed. You must also have a local contact who can get to the property within an hour, 24/7, to handle any problems. Finally, be sure to display your town-issued registration number on your Airbnb listing.
