Your vacation to Wrightsville Beach will be all about sun, fun, and relaxation in this comfortable 3 BR, 1.5 Bath Beach Cottage. This home is located just a short walk to the beach. Avoid all of the busyness and traffic of the main stretch of Wrightsville Beach in the peaceful and family-friendly community of South Harbor Island. Harbor Island is in the heart of Wrightsville Beach and one of the most sought-after locations in Southeastern North Carolina. This area is known for its peaceful nature, convenient access to all the local attractions, and is extremely family friendly.

When you arrive at the bungalow, there are three convenient entrances to the home, via the front door, garage, or back door. The rocking chair front porch leads directly into a cavernous living area, including a TV equipped with a Roku and huge sectional couch, ideal for calming to watch a movie, or looking directly out a enormous widow over Banks Channel. Also in the main living area is a dining room with cozy sitting for up to 6 people to appreciate dinner, and a gorgeous kitchen ideal for preparing dinner or sandwiches for a day at the beach. Off the living room is a sundeck overlooking handsome Banks Channel, ideal for appreciating morning coffee, dinner, or an evening glass of wine.

Down the hallway are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is outfitted with a king size bed, and the second and third bedrooms each have their own queen bed. Full size bathroom includes a combo shower and tub, and the downstairs half bath serves as a second bathroom option, with adjacent enclosed outdoor shower.

Upon waking in the morning, savor your morning coffee on the rocking chair front porch or side deck overlooking Banks Channel. Once you are ready for the beach, load up the beach wagon we provide with body boards and beach chairs, which are also included. Then, take a short walk across the bridge and enjoy a day in the sun and sand, or launch your kayak steps away from the bungalow at public water access. Upon your return home, enjoy showering off the sand in the enclosed outdoor shower. The home is located just off the Wrightsville Beach Loop, which is a well known 2.5 mile walking/running trail with handsome vistas of the water. Take the kids over to Wrightsville Beach park to play on the playground, or for a fast tennis match or basketball game. Also just a short walk away, are many restaurant options, including Tower 7, Trolley Stop, Flying Machine Brewery, and Zeke’s. Also located within walking distance is Roberts’ Grocery Store, an ice cream shop, and numerous places to shop!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

Booking your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve 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 manager if your group qualifies for a special rate.
Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Southport rental:

Select vacation dates and budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Cozy Beach Cottage on South Harbor Island, Water Views, Wrightsville Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, 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 could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
