Welcome to the calming neighborhood of Harbor Island at Wrightsville Beach and Mr Frog's Figs & Ferns Cottage!

This furnished street level bungalow is located in an exclusive neighborhood quietly tucked just a walk away from the hustle & bustle of the WB strip and it's striking white sandy beaches. The narrow 1-way street of North Channel is a favorite for walkers, cyclists and neighbors to stop, chat and catch up on the day's activities. Our home is one of the few remaining classic cottages constructed in the 1940's, but refreshed with all the modern amenities we appreciate. And it's one of the only solar powered homes at Wrightsville Beach that generates enough power to completely offset it's carbon footprint, along with some of our neighbors too!

The 1st floor 800 sqft 2 bed 1 bath (+ outdoor shower) offers a sizable living room, freshly modernized bathroom, full kitchen, full size refrigerator, Keurig, flat screen Intelligent TV, fiber optic internet, washer/dryer, 2 full size beds + 1 twin pull-out couch. Out back you’ll encounter one of the biggest lush green yards in the neighborhood with a magnificent "open to the stars" hot outdoor shower, mature landscape, gas bar-b-que grille, Yoga gazebo and a paddle board available for water adventure for our guests. We even have a Fire pit for those cooler evenings as well! Sorry, but no family pets & no smoking please.

This beach bungalow is also the ideal starting point to your Island adventure! Right across the street, the Islands most pristine public access to Banks Channel offers you countless paddle boarding, swimming & kayaking opportunities from a sandy beach just 30 steps from your door.

At the end of the street, you’ll find the WB Loop, a 2.5 mile spectacular trail. It is a well-appreciated treasure that offers a walking or running experience you won’t find anywhere else. Feel at home with a morning run or stroll as you savor vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Banks Channel, shady live oaks and handsome salt marshes as you make your way around this outstanding path. While always active but never busy, it is sure to inspire you to move! Want a different mode of transportation? Bicycle units are just a 5 min walk over the Causeway bridge!

Handsome WB Park, less than 1 mile away, offers four tennis & pickleball courts, basketball, volleyball, kids play equipment, obstacle course equipment, or fields for whatever you prefer. From May-Oct, every Monday the park hosts a FARMERS MARKET Mondays 8 am - 1 pm.

All the fun at the beach making you hungry? Within a 10 min walk you have a selection of the best coffee stores, eateries, Ice Cream & Frozen Custard at the beach ~ The Workshop, Tower 7, South Beach Grille, Poe’s, Zeke’s Beans & Bowls and Kohl's Custard. Interested in some local craft beer? Head over the drawbridge just ¼ mile to the locally owned hidden gem of Waterman’s Brewing Co.~ closest brewery to Wrightsville Beach!! There you can enjoy not only marvelous craft beer, but scrumptious lunch, dinner & weekend brunch!

We always like our guests to know that this is a duplex and that if you have any questions, concerns or need suggestions, we live right upstairs! Our family will do our best to make sure you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy living in this special beach home!
Cheers! Don & Trish

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special 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.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental in the Brunswick area area:

• Start by having your family choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Mr Frog's Figs & Ferns Beach Cottage - Swim & Kayak Launch w/5 min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you long to visit, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
