The Prickly Pear Cottage in Wrightsville Beach - Vacation rental home in Wrightsville Beach, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

Located in the sought after south end of Wrightsville Beach, the bungalow, constructed in 1947, is a good representation of old Wrightsville of yesteryear. The home sits amongst handsome bespoke homes yet has a very laid back vibe on the south end just across the street from the beach. It is steps away from public beach access ‘41’ and a fast walk to the lazy beaches of Banks Channel. On many mornings and evenings, you can hear the sound of the ocean waves as you appreciate the beach breeze with a cup of coffee or a drink on the private side patio.

This unit is a ground floor unit of a duplex bungalow and has been completely remodeled with an open floor plan that contains an refreshed kitchen and dining area with all the basic cooking needs. After a long day at the beach or on the water, there is an outdoor shower, an updated bathroom with shower, and a comfortable living room area or outdoor patio to relax. Prices are better than any hotel on the island plus you get the luxury of having separate bedrooms, your own roomy well appointed kitchen, a living room and outdoor patio space! No need to worry about parking either as there is your own parking spot in the driveway. Park your car and perhaps leave it off for the rest of your trip.

Strategies for getting the best Southport vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your rental search:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Prickly Pear Cottage in Wrightsville Beach has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Southport attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
