Your vacation to Wrightsville Beach will be all about sun, fun, and relaxation in this comfortable 3 BR, 1.5 Bath Beach Cottage. This home is located just a short walk to the beach. Avoid all of the busyness and traffic of the main stretch of Wrightsville Beach in the peaceful and family-friendly community of South Harbor Island. Harbor Island is in the heart of Wrightsville Beach and one of the most sought-after locations in Southeastern North Carolina. This area is known for its peaceful nature, convenient access to all the local attractions, and is extremely family friendly.

When you arrive at the bungalow, there are three convenient entrances to the home, via the front door, garage, or back door. The rocking chair front porch leads directly into a cavernous living area, including a TV equipped with a Roku and huge sectional couch, ideal for calming to watch a movie, or looking directly out a enormous widow over Banks Channel. Also in the main living area is a dining room with cozy sitting for up to 6 people to savor dinner, and a striking kitchen ideal for preparing dinner or sandwiches for a day at the beach. Off the living room is a sundeck overlooking striking Banks Channel, ideal for appreciating morning coffee, dinner, or an evening glass of wine.

Down the hallway are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is outfitted with a king size bed, and the second and third bedrooms each have their own queen bed. Full size bathroom includes a combo shower and tub, and the downstairs half bath serves as a second bathroom option, with adjacent enclosed outdoor shower.

Upon waking in the morning, appreciate your morning coffee on the rocking chair front porch or side deck overlooking Banks Channel. Once you are ready for the beach, load up the beach wagon we provide with body boards and beach chairs, which are also supplied. Then, take a short walk across the bridge and enjoy a day in the sun and sand, or launch your kayak steps away from the bungalow at public water access. Upon your return home, enjoy showering off the sand in the enclosed outdoor shower. The home is located just off the Wrightsville Beach Loop, which is a well known 2.5 mile walking/running trail with handsome vistas of the water. Take the kids over to Wrightsville Beach park to play on the playground, or for a fast tennis match or basketball game.

Tips to get the best Wrightsville Beach vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• To find the best value, shift your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy Beach Cottage on South Harbor Island, Water Views, Wrightsville Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
