There is a huge shaded screened-in dining area off the kitchen which makes a ideal spot for gathering!

Guests of this appealing bungalow will be welcomed into the home by way of a lush tropical garden that passes by a modest neighboring bungalow.

As you enter the home and walk into the kitchen, you are instantly met with tons of appeal and gentle nods to the history of this extraordinary family home. The kitchen features impressive wooden walls that carry through the ceiling and while it is upfitted with modern amenities, it holds true to the age and simplistic feel of this classic beach bungalow.

There are two twin beds in the laundry room that are not supplied in the occupancy of the home and are not intended for guest use. Passing through the kitchen again, you will arrive in the dining room which is furnished with a sizable kitchen table and an antique buffet that homes games, puzzles, and books. The wonderfully aged wood floors compliment the historic photos that tell the story of this home which has been appreciated by many generations. The cozy master bedroom is accessed off the dining room and provides a full-size bed, neat half bathroom, and has two windows that let in natural light.

Through the dining room is the roomy family room that offers a sitting area, comfortably furnished living room with TV, and features original glass paned French doors that lead to the first-floor ocean front deck. Take a second to stop and admire the antique wall décor and historical memorabilia as you ascend the stairs. The top floor bathroom has a huge claw foot tub and services the four close by bedrooms. An oceanfront guest room with two twin beds, a queen bed, vanity table, an TV makes a great accommodation for guests of all ages with two large windows that overlook the ocean and a convenient door that gives access to the top floor deck. The second guest room is furnished with two twin beds is a great place for kids as there is no exterior egress.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit Wrightsville Beach & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the perfectrental home:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Charming Beachfront Cottage on Historic Registry has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. message the host immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
