***We newly took back over from the property mgmt company so Vacation Rental By Owner removed our reviews. We have 30 reviews on the other major rental site with an avg of 4.75 stars. Please search for Island Bungalow Wrightsville Beach to read. Here are a few:

Karen: "The location is to die for... spectacular street lined with handsome homes and friendly people and right on the sound. We walked everywhere from this location. It was fun to see other people walking their dogs, walking to eateries, taking early morning jogs and greeting the sunrise on the beach. We picked up fabulous acai and yogurt bowls from Adapt Kitchen and Juice bar and ate them on a public gazebo looking over the sound. This is the life!"
Stephanie: "As someone who has lived at WB, location is everything. This home is right where you want to be! Loved having the screened in porch. Kristal went above and beyond to accommodate my family and pups needs and was so responsive.."
Tina: "First of all, Krystal was an amazingly responsive and accommodating host. We had all of the info we needed, complete with locals-only suggestions and personal touches to help us savor the beach. The bicycles, fenced yard, darling home and striking screened porch made our stay so comfortable! The neighborhood is handsome and the neighbors are outstanding. The description is so true, you can walk to everything...and we did! We can’t wait to go back again. Thank you, Krystal!!"

Appreciate the breezes that blow through as you read a book, have a drink with a friend, or just ponder life.

There is a cozy living/kitchen/eating area where you can prepare fresh Mahi or Grouper from Motts Seafood, appreciate a glass of wine, or snuggle up to watch a movie. We appreciate the broad window bar that makes us feel as if we are still outdoors. Well-supplied kitchen with blender, toaster, kettle, microwave, and everything needed to prepare. The beds are cozy. Wifi accepts for streaming with Roku. The beds are super comfortable: Queen, 1 twin, and one futon.

The painless living and unbeatable location are why people return to the Island Bungalow.

Strategies to get the perfect Wrightsville Beach vacation home experience:

Getting the best value:

• To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Wrightsville Beach rental:

• First, have your group decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. \"Perfect location!\" Ditch the car and walk everywhere! Dogs Yay! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is best for your trip.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach attraction you crave, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or may be applied to your invoice.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
