This property is ideal for families with modest kids doing longer-stays (over a week).

Traveling with modest kids can be a challenge! We know because we have modest kids of our own. We are excited to offer our home as a refuge for your family as you travel. Our home is equipped with nearly everything you need as a parent. Crib, playground, washer and dryer, noise machine, infant bathtub, toys, kids’s books, blankies, rockers, highchair, etc.

Of course, if you don’t have kids, you can ignore those things and stay in a 3 bed, 2.5 bath open-concept home with a private backyard / comfortable patio , espresso machine and plenty of space for a family. The home is very pet and toddler friendly (though adult supervision is required). We are walking distance from a few great eateries and stores and Long Leaf Park. We are just a 10-min. drive to Wrightsville Beach or downtown.

Master bedroom has office space with dual monitors, bassinet, garden tub in private bath and a huge dresser. The guest room has queen bed with sizable dresser and closet. The other bedroom is equipped for modest kids (crib, rocker, changing station, a kids twin bed, toys, etc.). We also have two queen sized air beds that can be set-up in one of the two downstairs living rooms.

We have everything you need in terms of cooking, linens, towels, soap, entertainment (wifi, Netflix, hbo, etc.). A TV in each shared living room, 2 couches and 2 appreciate seats and a special cushion for 1 pet.

The outdoor patio has a cushioned couch, dining table, gas and charcoal grilles, playground and privacy fence. In the summer, it's full shade after 1pm which is marvelous. We pay for mosquito control so *far fewer* pesky mosquitos while you're trying to appreciate an evening outdoors.

Our favorite activities in the neighborhood include:
- Walking our dog through our peaceful neighborhood over to the dog park in long leaf park. Stopping in at Brewer’s Kettle for a cold drink and then picking up Tandoori Bites Indian food on our walk home.
- Biking over to Whole Foods or Crepes & More for morning coffee and breakfast.
- Playing on the soccer field located within the neighborhood
- Staying in, grilling out or appreciating the outdoor fire place, on a warm evening after the kids are in bed.

Getting the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Wrightsville Beach area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Centrally located family home 10 mins from the beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If not, email the host before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Wrightsville Beach beach you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. text the host immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often 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 BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. 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 it a point as part of your comments.
