This classic bungalow has all this and much more. The "Mary J" is great for families with comfortable furnishings and an open floor plan. Each of the three bedrooms sleeps two adults and a kid and there is an additional bed on the porch for napping. Open the windows like people used to do to appreciate ocean breezes or turn on the window air conditioners if needed. Outside areas include a deck overlooking the ocean and space under the home for the kids to play, adults to relax and grille, and the family to picnic. Also downstairs are two showers with hot and cold water and a huge storage room for your beach toys. There is room for parking three cars in the yard in front of the home. The short walk from the home to the beach access is only about 3-4 mins..

This home has everything for the ideal beach vacation ! The beach slopes gently to the water and is ideal for outdoor fun. Walk towards the east end of the island to swim in the tide pools at low tide and search for sand dollars and sea shells. If you are up for a longer walk, you can walk around the end of the island to discover one of the Holden Golden Memory Mailboxes located on the intracoastal waterway where you can read other peoples' memories and perhaps share some of your own. You will feel like you are visiting in an island heaven with the beautiful ocean in front of you, pristine beaches, and no hordes.

This is the tenth year we have listed our home with Vacation Rental By Owner, however, we have rented it privately and have had many renters coming back year after year. What renters like best about the home are the beach front location, the comfort of the home, the fact that the home is extremely family friendly and it has a vintage feel with its pine floors, walls, and ceilings in the living areas, and a well equipped kitchen with basic spices included.

Please note that during the prime weeks of the summer--June 2 - August 11--we have a 7-nighttime minimum stay running Sunday to Sunday. Before and after Prime season, we have a 3-nighttime minimum stay. These stays can begin on any day of the week.

Sticking to a spending plan:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. Book your vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.

Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
