This property is ideal for families with modest kids doing longer-stays (over a week).

Traveling with modest kids can be a challenge! We know because we have modest kids of our own. We are excited to offer our home as a refuge for your family as you travel. Our home is equipped with nearly everything you need as a parent. Crib, playground, washer and dryer, noise machine, infant bathtub, toys, kids’s books, blankies, rockers, highchair, etc.

Of course, if you don’t have kids, you can ignore those things and stay in a 3 bed, 2.5 bath open-concept home with a private backyard / comfortable patio , espresso machine and plenty of space for a family. The home is very pet and toddler friendly (though adult supervision is required). We are walking distance from a few great eateries and stores and Long Leaf Park. We are just a 10-min. drive to Wrightsville Beach or downtown.

Master bedroom has office space with dual monitors, bassinet, garden tub in private bath and a sizable dresser. The guest room has queen bed with enormous dresser and closet. The other bedroom is equipped for modest kids (crib, rocker, changing station, a kids twin bed, toys, etc.). We also have two queen sized air beds that can be set-up in one of the two downstairs living rooms.

We have everything you need in terms of cooking, linens, towels, soap, entertainment (wifi, Netflix, hbo, etc.). A T.V. in each shared living room, 2 couches and 2 appreciate seats and a special cushion for 1 pet.

The outdoor patio has a cushioned couch, dining table, gas and charcoal grilles, playground and privacy fence. In the summer, it's full shade after 1pm which is exceptional. We pay for mosquito control so *far fewer* pesky mosquitos while you're trying to appreciate an evening outdoors.

Our favorite activities in the neighborhood include:
- Walking our dog through our peaceful neighborhood over to the dog park in long leaf park. Stopping in at Brewer’s Kettle for a cold drink and then picking up Tandoori Bites Indian food on our walk home.
- Biking over to Whole Foods or Crepes & More for morning coffee and breakfast.
- Playing on the soccer field located within the neighborhood
- Staying in, grilling out or appreciating the outdoor fire place, on a warm evening after the kids are in bed.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a Brunswick area rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick your prefectvacation home:

• Start by having your group decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Centrally located family home 10 mins from the beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If not, contact the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors 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 bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
