The two screened porches and tree-canopied patio with fresh salt air and the sounds of relaxing surf in the distance offer a ideal backdrop to read, drink a glass of wine, prepare out, have your morning coffee and relax with family. The back screened porch has a impressive swinging bed and directly accesses a boardwalk complete with ancient oaks, Spanish moss and a community gazebo. Outdoor deck is outfitted with a gas grille and comfortable seating. Al fresco dining is available in the screened-in porch and the deck.

This home provides additional privacy as each bedroom has it’s own bathroom and intelligent TV. There are two bedrooms in the main home. The master bedroom has a king bed. The other bedroom in the main home has 3 twin beds (2 twins and a trundle). There is also a detached tree-home style guest bungalow over the garage, which provides additional privacy with a queen-sized bed, intelligent TV and ensuite full bathroom.

Cottage is well supplied with all the amenities of a calming beach vacation—WiFi, 2 golf carts (6-person and 4-person), heated outdoor shower, 6 beach chairs, 4 cruiser bicycles, cooler, bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach umbrellas, sand toys, body boards, surf board, board games, books, portable high chair, pack n’ play crib, Keurig and regular coffee makers, blender, crock pot and completely outfitted kitchen.

Weekly units are Saturday-Saturday in summer. We will entertain shorter stays outside of the high season. Message me to discuss.

Our home has the option to purchase a temporary membership at Shoals Club (pool/restaurant/beach access) for $100 per person per week during high summer season and $150 per person per week on holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day). Not all homes have access to clubs. Shoals Club is closest to the home (5 min. walk), oceanfront and offers pools, dining, exercise center and beach access. The club offers handsome vistas and alluring food. Photos of the club are supplied in the photos for our home.

Another benefit of our home is having 2 golf carts—4-person and 6-person. 2 carts enable groups to separate for the many different activities the island has to offer.

Our top Wrightsville Beach rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking your Wrightsville Beach rental:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Quintessential Bald Head Island cottage. has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach attraction you simply love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
