Are you looking to coast back to simpler times? “Reel Simple” is a beachfront Wrightsville Beach bungalow listed on the Historic Registry! Featuring gorgeous ocean vistas from porches that span both floors and plenty of space for the entire family, this is the prefect home for folks who appreciate a traditional family beach vacation.

The outdoor space that the bungalow offers is really a rare find. Two huge porches wrap around the exterior of the property and are lined with rocking chairs, comfortable loungers, and give countless vistas of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Several screen doors line the porches and allow for enchanting cross breezes on warm summer evenings with the waves crashing in the background. There is a sizable shaded screened-in dining area off the kitchen which makes a ideal spot for gathering!

Guests of this striking bungalow will be welcomed into the home by way of a lush tropical garden that passes by a modest neighboring bungalow. An exterior staircase leads you to the porch and the main door to the home is accessed through the screened porch. As you enter the home and walk into the kitchen, you are instantly met with tons of appeal and gentle nods to the history of this extraordinary family home. The kitchen features impressive wooden walls that carry through the ceiling and while it is upfitted with modern amenities, it holds true to the age and simplistic feel of this classic beach bungalow.

To the left of the kitchen is a huge laundry room that leads to a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. There are two twin beds in the laundry room that are not supplied in the occupancy of the home and are not intended for guest use. Passing through the kitchen again, you will arrive in the dining room which is furnished with a sizable kitchen table and an antique buffet that homes games, puzzles, and books. The wonderfully aged wood floors compliment the historic photos that tell the story of this home which has been appreciated by many generations. The comfortable master bedroom is accessed off the dining room and provides a full-size bed, neat half bathroom, and has two windows that let in natural light.

Through the dining room is the cavernous family room that offers a sitting area, comfortably furnished living room with TV, and features original glass paned French doors that lead to the first-floor ocean front deck. Take a second to stop and admire the antique wall décor and historical memorabilia as you ascend the stairs. The top floor bathroom has a enormous claw foot tub and services the four close by bedrooms. An oceanfront guest room with two twin beds, a queen bed, vanity table, an TV makes a great accommodation for guests of all ages with two large windows that overlook the ocean and a convenient door that gives access to the top floor deck. The second guest room is furnished with two twin beds is a great place for kids as there is no exterior egress. Another guest room with two twin beds offers direct access to the ocean front deck and has a modest sink. The fourth guest room on this floor is outfitted with a queen-size bed and offers a modest sink.

Wrightsville Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserve your Wrightsville Beach rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Charming Beachfront Cottage on Historic Registry has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach destination you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. text the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
