"Parsley" is a cherished historic sound-front bungalow where guests return year after year to experience the timeless appeal of Wrightsville Beach. With beautiful sound vistas, spectacular sunsets, and a enchanting wraparound porch lined with rocking chairs, this coastal getaway is ideal for relaxation. Just across the street, kids can splash in the gentle waters of a private beach that emerges at low tide, while adults appreciate the serenity of the lush garden by the shore. A short walk across South Lumina provides simple access to the ocean, ensuring the best of both worlds.

This beloved bungalow seamlessly blends vintage character with modern amenities. The main level features a comfortable yet functional kitchen, an inviting living and dining area, and a appealing bedroom with a twin bed. Multiple sets of French doors and windows allow the fresh ocean breeze to sweep through the home, just like in the old days. The broad shaded porch is the heart of the bungalow—ideal for unwinding in a rocking chair while appreciating the coastal air. A unique feature of this home is the full bathroom located on the porch, adding a rustic and calming touch to your stay.

Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for family and friends. The first guest room offers a full and twin bed, while the two remaining bedrooms each feature two twin beds and their own private sinks—an authentic nod to the home’s history. A shared half bathroom with a striking clawfoot tub adds to the vintage appeal.

Though the bungalow’s cross breeze keeps it wonderfully cozy, modern conveniences like central heat and air, as well as ceiling fans throughout, ensure year-round comfort. However, the home is winterized and unavailable for rent from December through April.

Step back in time and experience Wrightsville Beach the way it was meant to be—peaceful, beautiful, and full of nostalgia. Don't miss your chance to stay in this really special coastal hideaway!

How to book the best Southport rental experience:

When to reserve a Southport rental home & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wrightsville Beach. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Southport area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Traditional sound front cottage w historic charm! has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Southport destination you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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 review.
