Your vacation to Wrightsville Beach will be all about sun, fun, and relaxation in this comfortable 3 BR, 1.5 Bath Beach Cottage. This home is located just a short walk to the beach. Avoid all of the busyness and traffic of the main stretch of Wrightsville Beach in the peaceful and family-friendly community of South Harbor Island. Harbor Island is in the heart of Wrightsville Beach and one of the most sought-after locations in Southeastern North Carolina. This area is known for its peaceful nature, convenient access to all the local attractions, and is extremely family friendly.

When you arrive at the bungalow, there are three convenient entrances to the home, via the front door, garage, or back door. The rocking chair front porch leads directly into a cavernous living area, including a TV equipped with a Roku and sizable sectional couch, ideal for calming to watch a movie, or looking directly out a huge widow over Banks Channel. Also in the main living area is a dining room with cozy sitting for up to 6 people to appreciate dinner, and a striking kitchen ideal for preparing dinner or sandwiches for a day at the beach. Off the living room is a sundeck overlooking impressive Banks Channel, ideal for appreciating morning coffee, dinner, or an evening glass of wine.

Down the hallway are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is outfitted with a king size bed, and the second and third bedrooms each have their own queen bed. Full size bathroom includes a combo shower and tub, and the downstairs half bath serves as a second bathroom option, with adjacent enclosed outdoor shower.

Upon waking in the morning, savor your morning coffee on the rocking chair front porch or side deck overlooking Banks Channel. Once you are ready for the beach, load up the beach wagon we provide with body boards and beach chairs, which are also included. Then, take a short walk across the bridge and enjoy a day in the sun and sand, or launch your kayak steps away from the bungalow at public water access. Upon your return home, enjoy showering off the sand in the enclosed outdoor shower. The home is located just off the Wrightsville Beach Loop, which is a well known 2.5 mile walking/running trail with handsome vistas of the water. Take the kids over to Wrightsville Beach park to play on the playground, or for a fast tennis match or basketball game.

Tips to get the best Southport vacation rental experience:

When to visit Wrightsville Beach & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the best rental home:

• To start, have your group choose dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy Beach Cottage on South Harbor Island, Water Views, Wrightsville Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
