The space
This brand new and handsome 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 pretty, 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. Stunning 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Wrightsville Beach vacation property experience:

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

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your group agree to vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. New! Charming Cottage on Forest Hills Estate has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the host immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
