Truly the best of both worlds, this 2 bedroom, 1 and ½ bath bungalow is located on a peaceful neighborhood one-way street with mostly foot traffic BUT also in the middle of everything at Wrightsville Beach. After a grocery run, you can park your car for the remainder of your stay because “all things fun” can be reached on foot. That’s right….the beach, the channel, great eateries, awe-inspiring coffee homes, surf stores, ice cream, supplies, and gifts are all within a 5-9 min walk. It is an outdoor enthusiast “candy store!” Bikes will get you there even faster. If you must drive, we have a WB resident parking pass for your use which accepts you to park right at the beach. What a deal!

Family Animals? $200 pet fee. Rules: 1. One dog only at the discretion of the owner. 2. No aggressive breeds - pit bull, chow, etc... 3. No dogs that bark a lot. We like our neighbors :-). 4. If they need to be on the furnishings, bring your own blankets to keep dirt/hair out of ours.

The Bungalow - Discover the cozy appeal of this 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath bungalow with a calming screen porch and outdoor patio. Savor the breezes that blow through as you read a book, have a drink with a friend, or just ponder life. If you happen to visit during a month with an “R”, you must have an oyster roast on the vintage brick patio under trees. There is a comfortable living/kitchen/eating area where you can prepare fresh Mahi or Grouper from Motts Seafood, savor a glass of wine, or snuggle up to watch a movie. We appreciate the broad window bar that makes us feel as if we are still outdoors. Well-outfitted kitchen with blender, toaster, kettle, microwave, and everything needed to prepare. The beds are cozy. Wifi accepts for streaming with Roku. The beds are super comfortable: Queen, 1 twin, and one futon. This home is not the "granite countertop experience, but it is a 1950's style laid-back throw back beach home. New for 2025 - full bath complete remodel and the kitchen floors have been restored to original wood - photos to be refreshed in May. The simple living and unbeatable location are why people return to the Island Bungalow.

We provide two bicycles. You can rent SUP, kayak, surfboard, and additional bicycles just a few mins. walk. 250 feet from our front door there is public access for painless entry into Bank's channel. You will certainly be able to relax in this comfortable home.

Strategies to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation home 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 vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group select the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. \"Perfect location!\" Walk everywhere! Dogs Yay! Special 10% off June 14-20 has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
