Your vacation to Wrightsville Beach will be all about sun, fun, and relaxation in this comfortable 3 BR, 1.5 Bath Beach Cottage. This home is located just a short walk to the beach. Avoid all of the busyness and traffic of the main stretch of Wrightsville Beach in the peaceful and family-friendly community of South Harbor Island. Harbor Island is in the heart of Wrightsville Beach and one of the most sought-after locations in Southeastern North Carolina. This area is known for its peaceful nature, convenient access to all the local attractions, and is extremely family friendly.

When you arrive at the bungalow, there are three convenient entrances to the home, via the front door, garage, or back door. The rocking chair front porch leads directly into a roomy living area, including a TV equipped with a Roku and sizable sectional couch, ideal for calming to watch a movie, or looking directly out a huge widow over Banks Channel. Also in the main living area is a dining room with cozy sitting for up to 6 people to savor dinner, and a striking kitchen ideal for preparing dinner or sandwiches for a day at the beach. Off the living room is a sundeck overlooking gorgeous Banks Channel, ideal for appreciating morning coffee, dinner, or an evening glass of wine.

Down the hallway are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is outfitted with a king size bed, and the second and third bedrooms each have their own queen bed. Full size bathroom includes a combo shower and tub, and the downstairs half bath serves as a second bathroom option, with adjacent enclosed outdoor shower.

Upon waking in the morning, appreciate your morning coffee on the rocking chair front porch or side deck overlooking Banks Channel. Once you are ready for the beach, load up the beach wagon we provide with body boards and beach chairs, which are also included. Then, take a short walk across the bridge and enjoy a day in the sun and sand, or launch your kayak steps away from the bungalow at public water access. Upon your return home, enjoy showering off the sand in the enclosed outdoor shower. The home is located just off the Wrightsville Beach Loop, which is a well known 2.5 mile walking/running trail with handsome vistas of the water. Take the kids over to Wrightsville Beach park to play on the playground, or for a fast tennis match or basketball game.

Wrightsville Beach rental home tips:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Cozy Beach Cottage on South Harbor Island, Water Views, Wrightsville Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable 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 feedback.
