This property is ideal for families with modest kids doing longer-stays (over a week).

Traveling with modest kids can be a challenge! We know because we have modest kids of our own. We are excited to offer our home as a refuge for your family as you travel. Our home is equipped with nearly everything you need as a parent. Crib, playground, washer and dryer, noise machine, infant bathtub, toys, kids’s books, blankies, rockers, highchair, etc.

Of course, if you don’t have kids, you can ignore those things and stay in a 3 bed, 2.5 bath open-concept home with a private backyard / comfortable patio , espresso machine and plenty of space for a family. The home is very pet and toddler friendly (though adult supervision is required). We are walking distance from a few great eateries and stores and Long Leaf Park. We are just a 10-min. drive to Wrightsville Beach or downtown.

Master bedroom has office space with dual monitors, bassinet, garden tub in private bath and a huge dresser. The guest room has queen bed with enormous dresser and closet. The other bedroom is equipped for modest kids (crib, rocker, changing station, a kids twin bed, toys, etc.). We also have two queen sized air beds that can be set-up in one of the two downstairs living rooms.

We have everything you need in terms of cooking, linens, towels, soap, entertainment (wifi, Netflix, hbo, etc.). A T.V. in each shared living room, 2 couches and 2 appreciate seats and a special cushion for 1 pet.

The outdoor patio has a cushioned couch, dining table, gas and charcoal grilles, playground and privacy fence. In the summer, it's full shade after 1pm which is marvelous. We pay for mosquito control so *far fewer* pesky mosquitos while you're trying to savor an evening outdoors.

Our favorite activities in the neighborhood include:
- Walking our dog through our peaceful neighborhood over to the dog park in long leaf park. Stopping in at Brewer’s Kettle for a cold drink and then picking up Tandoori Bites Indian food on our walk home.
- Biking over to Whole Foods or Crepes & More for morning coffee and breakfast.
- Playing on the soccer field located within the neighborhood
- Staying in, grilling out or appreciating the outdoor fire place, on a warm evening after the kids are in bed.

Our top Rental booking tips:

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

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Centrally located family home 10 mins from the beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach attraction you simply love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
