Welcome to "The Family Beach House", where you are invited to make life-long memories with your family and friends! Appreciate our beautiful, historic beach home, located just steps away from the handsome shoreline of Wrightsville Beach. One of our favorite perks of our home is the location! Not only is it within walking distance to eateries, bars, stores, and Robert's market... our beach access (#24) is located halfway between both of the public accesses and therefore is typically less busy. This timeless gem has been attractively refreshed to blend the character and appeal of its past with modern upgrades, making it the ideal comfortable, coastal escape for families and groups of friends to gather.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed layout to accommodate bigger groups. Starting with a glance at the layout of bedrooms, the main floor features a smaller queen bedroom that provides simple access to the first floor. While upstairs offers two roomy king bedrooms, each designed with relaxation in mind. One of these bedrooms serves as the primary suite with an en suite bathroom. There is also a queen bedroom, that shares a full-size bath in the hallway with the secondary king bedroom. The "Bunk Room" is a versatile getaway for kids or adult friends, featuring three twin beds, a set of bunk beds, and also stores a pull-out trundle bed if needed. The "Bunk Room" has a wall mounted Intelligent TV that provides a secluded space for kids to pile in for a bedtime movie. It also includes an en suite bathroom with room to share.

With open living spaces downstairs this home gives plenty of options for everybody to spread out, whether calming in the living room, sharing meals in the dining room, or reading on the front porch, this home is ideal for gathering! The entirely outfitted, open kitchen includes everything you would need to prepare a meal with a big group. We also offer a charcoal grille to prepare up a coastal catch. There is a separate coffee/beverage bar supplied to savor in the morning with a 12-pot traditional coffee maker and filters, along with a Keurig machine. And for Happy Hour all the essential tools and glasses you would want to mix up your favorite drink or pour a glass of crisp Rose'. For added convenience, there’s a cavernous laundry room with an additional refrigerator for storing bags of ice and drinks, as well as overflow storage for food or beach coolers. And of course full size laundry machines.

The spacious front porch is our personal favorite place to relax! It invites you to soak in the ocean vistas, sounds, and salty breeze. It's the ideal spot for morning coffee, a midday beach read or nap, and of course Happy Hours drinks. There is also an outdoor dining table for card games and meals. But don't forget to try the outdoor shower after a long day in the sun and on the sand, before retreating to the front porch or for a more private spot, appreciate the adirondack chairs in the back yard.

Tips to get the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your Southport rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport 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.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Southport area magazine upon checking 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 articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Southport vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. The Family Beach House- a coastal haven just steps away from Wrightsville shore! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If not, contact the property management company before you book your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you long to visit, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
