Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This newly remodeled bungalow still holds the appeal + character of its historic past while offering all of the modern style + amenities desired in a 5 star stay. Located along a residential street you are mere steps to both the soundside (spectacular sunsets) and the ocean when sun and sand are calling. Savor 2 on-site parking spaces. Location cant be beat! Flipflops are all that’s needed to access the local hotspots. Walk to iconic Trolly Stop, Tower 7, stores… This handsome property features a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed, ensuring a terrific nighttime's sleep for all guests.

Entirely modernized in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach bungalow vibe. This top floor, 3 bedroom bungalow still features her wide plank shiplap ceilings, original wood floors and roomy, covered front porch…while also offering completely refreshed and modernized living areas. The kitchen and bath are entirely updated for everybody’s comfort and convenience. Not to be missed is the freshly installed, whole home Kinetico water filtration system! No beach water here. We offer healthy, filtered dinking and bathing water along with non-toxic cleaning practices and organic, bespoke scented reed diffusers (crafted by us!) for healthy, all-natural indoor environments for all of our guests.

What we adore most about The Latimer is the premiere location with peek-a- boo vistas of Banks Channel Sound and an simple 2 min. walk to the Ocean. Don’t miss a single sunset from the covered front porch. Plan to relax and appreciate the breeze on the swing after a sun-filled beach day in the sand with your drink of choice….sip your morning coffee, basking in the early sunshine on the private side porch.

When it’s time to head out and discover the island you are in the premiere spot! Walk to all of the local favorites. Trolly Stop hotdogs are not to be missed along with a margarita and fish taco from Tower7. Circles ice cream makes a summer nighttime sweeter.

Wrightsville Beach rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wrightsville Beach area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out 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.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
