The space
This brand new and pretty 1200 square-foot guest bungalow is located within a historic estate on Market Street. Our family of 5 lives in the main home. The bungalow is completely private with a shared driveway. The listing is new; I am a seasoned Airbnb “Superhost” with multiple listings and hundreds of 5-star reviews. The bungalow is a unique and handsome, comfortable space with a exceptional kitchen, two bedrooms two bathrooms plus a dedicated office. The furnishings are high-end, with a nod to mid-century stylings. The beds are brand new and comfortable. This is a space best suited for visiting professionals who want to be close to downtown/the airport/shopping. It is comfortably equipped for four but does not feel too huge for one or two. We are located an acre of land on Market Street, set back from the road. Outside there is a hum of Market St. traffic but inside it cannot be heard. Spectacular mature trees all around the property give the bungalow a located-in feel. Plenty of parking, in close proximity to the airport, downtown. 15 mins. to Wrightsville Beach.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire bungalow which is a private dwelling unattached from the main home. Parking is plentiful and shared with main home.
Other things to note
This is not a pet friendly space. It is located at the intersection of 26th and market Street. Visitors should have a car or plan to Uber downtown which is about a five min. drive.

Wrightsville Beach rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Wilmington. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group select vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. New! Charming Cottage on Forest Hills Estate has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach destination you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
