Remodeled while keeping the old style beach bungalow nostalgia; this cozy bungalow is one of the original properties on Wrightsville Beach (1927).

This property features an open feel to savor the ocean or canal breezes from windows surrounding the home. Parking is ample under the home with a wide railed front porch overlooking both the ocean and the canal within 200 yards of getting sand in between your toes.

We spend countless hour’s people watching and appreciating the close proximity to all that Wrightsville has to offer.

The home features modest yet more than adequate amenities with heart-pine floors, two sizable bedrooms privately located, with bathrooms that offer plenty of room to move around.

The open den/dining/bar and kitchen areas offers you and your guests plenty of socializing within eyes and ears reach in case you leave your drink behind.

We leave the original Hatteras Hammock and our Brazilian Cherry Rocker's on the deck all season so you can appreciate the reason we raised this home up by 10 feet.

If you like an outdoor shower then you will adore our private get away with hot and cold so can you wash away the rejuvenating salt water after a long day soaking up the sun on the beach within 200 yards of the elevated porch.

If you need groceries, want to eat a great seafood meal, or want to rent a bicycle, surfboard, sailboat or sea-kayak then just pack a modest daypack and you're a six mins. walk from the center of Wrightsville Beach.

Of course if you need a new outfit or bathing suit you can duck into Sweet Water Surf Shop and find the ideal fit for beauty or beast. Just tell 'em you have a 'Local's Card' (15% discount!) but left it at OLE #3.

Perhaps you would like to fish off of the famed Johnnie Mercer's Pier; then just walk four mins. and you're on North Carolina's longest 'ocean front dock'.

If you want alluring blues skies and emerald water to match, with the best darn view and location on the beach then come relax at #3 West Fayetteville Street!

Strategies for getting the best Wrightsville Beach rental home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wrightsville Beach. To get the best value, change your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the perfect rental:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Tranquil Wrightsville Beach Cottage 200 Yds from the Sand!!! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
