Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This newly modernized bungalow still holds the appeal + character of its historic past while offering all of the modern style + amenities desired in a 5 star stay. Located along a residential street you are mere steps to both the soundside (spectacular sunsets) and the ocean when sun and sand are calling. Appreciate 2 on-site parking spaces. Location cant be beat! Flipflops are all that’s needed to access the local hotspots. Walk to iconic Trolly Stop, Tower 7, stores… This pretty property features a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed, ensuring a terrific nighttime's sleep for all guests.

Totally remodeled in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach bungalow vibe. This top floor, 3 bedroom bungalow still features her wide plank shiplap ceilings, original wood floors and cavernous, covered front porch…while also offering completely refreshed and modernized living areas. The kitchen and bath are entirely updated for everybody’s comfort and convenience. Not to be missed is the freshly installed, whole home Kinetico water filtration system! No beach water here. We offer healthy, filtered dinking and bathing water along with non-toxic cleaning practices and organic, bespoke scented reed diffusers (crafted by us!) for healthy, all-natural indoor environments for all of our guests.

What we adore most about The Latimer is the premiere location with peek-a- boo vistas of Banks Channel Sound and an simple 2 min. walk to the Ocean. Don’t miss a single sunset from the covered front porch. Plan to relax and savor the breeze on the swing after a sun-filled beach day in the sand with your drink of choice….sip your morning coffee, basking in the early sunshine on the private side porch.

When it’s time to head out and discover the island you are in the premiere spot! Walk to all of the local favorites. Trolly Stop hotdogs are not to be missed along with a margarita and fish taco from Tower7. Circles ice cream makes a summer nighttime sweeter. Local surf stores, stores, nightlife and the island’s long standing, Robert’s Grocery store are within an painless walk from the bungalow. If you want to rent bicycles, they can be delivered to your door ready to pedal your way along our 3 mile island from inlet to inlet.

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

Get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Start by having your family decide on dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• 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. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
