The Silvery Moon: 1940s Beach Cottage – Steps away from the ocean!

***If you plan on bringing a dog, please let us know. We charge a $175. Non-returnable dog fee.***

Welcome to The Silvery Moon – a remodeled 1940s beach bungalow, with all the charms of the 1940s and the amenities of 2025! We are a dog friendly property and allow up to two well-behaved dogs. The backyard is fenced in for them too! We provide crates (two 36"; two 24", and one 42" located in the carport storage closet), dog bowls, towels, and a shammy towel for when your pup goes for a swim!

The bungalow sleeps 6 and has 2 sizable bedrooms with humongous closets and 2 completely refreshed bathrooms. The open floor plan offers a huge completely supplied kitchen with tons of cabinets, and a family room that spills into the enclosed porch. With tons of windows, there are numerous with ocean vistas! The beds, beds, L-shaped couch and chairs are all new. The bungalow has been modernized and decorated to feel like you are back in the 1940s, with shiplap throughout and framed art with forties flare!

The primary bedroom has a king-size bed and private bathroom, plus two huge closets. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed and sizable closet. Both bedrooms have dressers, bamboo hard-wood floors and mounted 42” TVs. The main living area has a full bathroom, including a tub, a enormous entirely-outfitted kitchen area, a big island with 3 chairs, a large couch and chair, and a 58” TV. The enclosed porch has a queen-size pull-out couch, a privacy screen, multiple chairs and a reading nook that overlooks the ocean.

Savor the broad deck while you BBQ with family and friends. The outdoor table lets you appreciate your food and drink while you savor the sea breezes! The bungalow comes with 6 beach chairs, a BBQ, pillows, sheets, towels, including beach towels, has an outdoor shower, and parking for 4 cars.

Once you park your car, you can leave it there, as the bungalow sits on a one-way street that is more like a pedestrian walkway and convenient to nearly anything in town! It's an painless walk to the Carolina Beach boardwalk to the North, and the Ocean Grille & Tiki Bar to the South. Other attractions within walking distance are Carolina Beach Lake, the Greenway, Veggie Wagon, Britts Donuts, eateries, and bars, including locals’ and tourists’ favorite, the Fat Pelican, voted one of the top 25 dive bars in the country!

If you've never been to Carolina Beach before, you're in for a treat! We're a fabulous family friendly beach town with pizza stores, ice cream stores, seafood eateries, and three grocery stores. You'll never have to (or want to) leave the island. During the summer there are complimentary outdoor concerts and movies, a weekly Farmers Market, and Thursday nighttime fireworks- all within walking distance. Stroll the boardwalk, head down to the Kure Beach pier, visit the NC Aquarium or take in some local Civil War history at Fort Fisher. You can find new things to do every day or, of course, just relax on the beach and soak up the sun. You'll be glad you came to Carolina Beach and will want to come back year after year.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Wrightsville Beach vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best rental home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Updated beach cottage, ocean views. Tons of Outdoor Space! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Wrightsville Beach beach you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
