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 adore 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.

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.

Wrightsville Beach rental home tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. \"Perfect location!\" Walk everywhere! Dogs Yay! Full bath Reno 2025! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If not, email the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
