Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This newly modernized bungalow still holds the appeal + character of its historic past while offering all of the modern style + amenities desired in a 5 star stay. Located along a residential street you are mere steps to both the soundside (spectacular sunsets) and the ocean when sun and sand are calling. Appreciate 2 on-site parking spaces. Location cant be beat! Flipflops are all that’s needed to access the local hotspots. Walk to iconic Trolly Stop, Tower 7, stores… This gorgeous property features a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed, ensuring a terrific nighttime's sleep for all guests.

Totally remodeled in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach bungalow vibe. This top floor, 3 bedroom bungalow still features her wide plank shiplap ceilings, original wood floors and cavernous, covered front porch…while also offering completely refreshed and modernized living areas. The kitchen and bath are entirely updated for everybody’s comfort and convenience. Not to be missed is the freshly installed, whole home Kinetico water filtration system! No beach water here. We offer healthy, filtered dinking and bathing water along with non-toxic cleaning practices and organic, bespoke scented reed diffusers (crafted by us!) for healthy, all-natural indoor environments for all of our guests.

What we appreciate most about The Latimer is the premiere location with peek-a- boo vistas of Banks Channel Sound and an simple 2 min. walk to the Ocean. Don’t miss a single sunset from the covered front porch. Plan to relax and appreciate the breeze on the swing after a sun-filled beach day in the sand with your drink of choice….sip your morning coffee, basking in the early sunshine on the private side porch.

When it’s time to head out and discover the island you are in the premiere spot! Walk to all of the local favorites. Trolly Stop hotdogs are not to be missed along with a margarita and fish taco from Tower7. Circles ice cream makes a summer nighttime sweeter.

Booking the best rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• To book the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Cape Fear area attractions.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking 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 costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental in Wrightsville Beach:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
