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 beautiful 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 savor. 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 huge living room, freshly updated 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 incredible "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 breathtaking 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 appreciate vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Banks Channel, shady live oaks and striking salt marshes as you make your way around this gorgeous 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!

Spectacular 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 amazing 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 home tips:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Brunswick area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the best rental home in the Brunswick area area:

• Start by having your family agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Mr Frog's Figs & Ferns Beach Cottage - Swim & Kayak Launch w\/5 min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
