About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 4 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1600 square feet

Classic Wrightsville Beach bungalow located on Charlotte Street with amazing access to the beach as well as Wrightsville's eateries and city center. Just two homes from the beach, the location affords ocean vistas from the broad wrap-around porch, while WB's top eateries, bars, and grocery store are just two blocks away The best thing about Charlotte Street is that, although it's extremely close and convenient to everything, it's also just far enough away to keep things peaceful at nighttime. Of course, it's also well-acclaimed to offer Wrightsville Beach's best surfing right out in front of the Station 24 access, just steps from the front porch.

The home was constructed in 1940 and retains virtually all of it's original classic, rustic appeal, yet offers centralized AC, refreshed appliances in the kitchen, and a full size washer/dryer in the downstairs laundry room. There are four (4) bedrooms which include a downstairs 'master' with a king-size bed, and three bedrooms upstairs that feature two (2) queen size beds and one room with two (2) twin size beds that can be pulled together to make a king. There is one (1) bathroom downstairs which serves the master bedroom as well as downstairs home guests and a 2nd bathroom upstairs to serve the upstairs three bedrooms.

Of course, our guests typically spend most of their time outside on the expansive wrap-around porch which features multiple seating areas including a daybed and hammock. The Denon stereo receiver is connected to two outdoor speakers on the porch if you like to appreciate a few tunes while chillin' with friends. There is also a grassy, landscaped area in the backyard that is great for calming as well. We have a gas grille stored underneath the home that can be used for cookouts, and there is also a huge outdoor shower underneath to rinse off the kids when you come in from the beach. There is also plenty of parking on site, as well as access to street parking on Charlotte Street.

Now for a few intangibles about the home: Our family lives in the area and we rent the home less than we use it for ourselves. We appreciate it! Out friends adore it! That said, please understand that it is a 1940 beach bungalow that oozes with rustic period charm, and if you are looking for something newer with bigger bedrooms and bathrooms, you would be advised to look elsewhere. But if you are looking for the quintessential old-school Wrightsville Beach experience, you cannot find a more ideal spot!

How to find the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Classic Wrightsville Beach Cottage in incredible location has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
