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 adore it! Out friends appreciate 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!

Tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Classic Wrightsville Beach Cottage in incredible location has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
