Welcome to "The Family Beach House", where you are invited to make life-long memories with your family and friends! Appreciate our beautiful, historic beach home, located just steps away from the handsome shoreline of Wrightsville Beach. One of our favorite perks of our home is the location! Not only is it within walking distance to eateries, bars, stores, and Robert's market... our beach access (#24) is located halfway between both of the public accesses and therefore is typically less busy. This timeless gem has been attractively refreshed to blend the character and appeal of its past with modern upgrades, making it the ideal comfortable, coastal escape for families and groups of friends to gather.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed layout to accommodate bigger groups. Starting with a glance at the layout of bedrooms, the main floor features a smaller queen bedroom that provides simple access to the first floor. While upstairs offers two roomy king bedrooms, each designed with relaxation in mind. One of these bedrooms serves as the primary suite with an en suite bathroom. There is also a queen bedroom, that shares a full-size bath in the hallway with the secondary king bedroom. The "Bunk Room" is a versatile getaway for kids or adult friends, featuring three twin beds, a set of bunk beds, and also stores a pull-out trundle bed if needed. The "Bunk Room" has a wall mounted Intelligent TV that provides a secluded space for kids to pile in for a bedtime movie. It also includes an en suite bathroom with room to share.

With open living spaces downstairs this home gives plenty of options for everybody to spread out, whether calming in the living room, sharing meals in the dining room, or reading on the front porch, this home is ideal for gathering! The entirely outfitted, open kitchen includes everything you would need to prepare a meal with a big group. We also offer a charcoal grille to prepare up a coastal catch. There is a separate coffee/beverage bar supplied to savor in the morning with a 12-pot traditional coffee maker and filters, along with a Keurig machine. And for Happy Hour all the essential tools and glasses you would want to mix up your favorite drink or pour a glass of crisp Rose'. For added convenience, there’s a cavernous laundry room with an additional refrigerator for storing bags of ice and drinks, as well as overflow storage for food or beach coolers. And of course full size laundry machines.

The spacious front porch is our personal favorite place to relax! It invites you to soak in the ocean vistas, sounds, and salty breeze. It's the ideal spot for morning coffee, a midday beach read or nap, and of course Happy Hours drinks. There is also an outdoor dining table for card games and meals. But don't forget to try the outdoor shower after a long day in the sun and on the sand, before retreating to the front porch or for a more private spot, appreciate the adirondack chairs in the back yard.

Strategies to get the best rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in Wrightsville Beach. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. The Family Beach House- a coastal haven just steps away from Wrightsville shore! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
