This handsome, cozy beach bungalow is located two mins. from Middleton Drive, which has simple beach access in both directions. There is also a walkover at SE 9th Street worth exploring. Packed full of character, this beach bungalow feels like a home away from home as it sits tucked away amongst the trees.

The living room is furnished with a adore chair and two recliners. This area also has a wooden China cabinet, which may transport some guests back to grandmother’s home. The flat screen TV rests on the matching wooden TV stand in the living room, where your family and friends can gather for leisure and fun. Along the vaulted ceiling hangs a ceiling fan to offer a cool breeze on hot, summer days.

To the left of the living room is the hallway, where you'll find the laundry closet on the right. The first guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, comfortable for calming after a long day at the beach or strolling around the island. This room is ideal for reading a book or just to get away from it all.

The second guest bedroom is located down this same hallway to the left. This room has two twin-sized beds. This room has a vintage yet inviting feeling that welcomes you as soon as you walk in. This is the ideal area to wind down and listen to the natural world outside.

Across from the hallway of the second guest bedroom is a attractively decorated full bathroom with a shower.

The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, with seating for seven. Feast on your favorite island dish all while planning your next adventure on the island.

The kitchen is beside the dining area. Equipped with a stainless-steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave, this traditional kitchen is made for a family gathering. With its granite countertops and light wooden cabinetry, this area suits guests well.

Aside from the dining area is the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. This primary bedroom has a flat-screen TV that sits on a T.V. stand to watch your favorite shows. Inside the bedroom is the master bathroom that has a shower. This section of the home seeks seclusion and calmness.

The fenced backyard makes this elegant home one of a kind. Charming trees surround you as you savor your family and friends on the outside patio. Gather around the firepit on the patio, which seats eight, or grille your favorite meal. Use the outdoor shower to rinse off after a hot day at the beach. There is also outside storage for any beach toys or additional vacation essentials you may need stored away.

Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Ruff Life: Bungalow with Easy Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach destination you love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
