Are you looking to coast back to simpler times? “Reel Simple” is a beachfront Wrightsville Beach bungalow listed on the Historic Registry! Featuring gorgeous ocean vistas from porches that span both floors and plenty of space for the entire family, this is the prefect home for folks who savor a traditional family beach vacation.

The outdoor space that the bungalow offers is really a rare find. Two huge porches wrap around the exterior of the property and are lined with rocking chairs, comfortable loungers, and give countless vistas of the handsome Atlantic Ocean. Several screen doors line the porches and allow for gorgeous cross breezes on warm summer evenings with the waves crashing in the background. There is a huge shaded screened-in dining area off the kitchen which makes a ideal spot for gathering!

Guests of this striking bungalow will be welcomed into the home by way of a lush tropical garden that passes by a modest neighboring bungalow. An exterior staircase leads you to the porch and the main door to the home is accessed through the screened porch. As you enter the home and walk into the kitchen, you are instantly met with tons of appeal and gentle nods to the history of this spectacular family home. The kitchen features striking wooden walls that carry through the ceiling and while it is upfitted with modern amenities, it holds true to the age and simplistic feel of this classic beach bungalow.

To the left of the kitchen is a enormous laundry room that leads to a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. There are two twin beds in the laundry room that are not supplied in the occupancy of the home and are not intended for guest use. Passing through the kitchen again, you will arrive in the dining room which is furnished with a sizable kitchen table and an antique buffet that homes games, puzzles, and books. The wonderfully aged wood floors compliment the historic photos that tell the story of this home which has been adored by many generations. The comfortable master bedroom is accessed off the dining room and provides a full-size bed, neat half bathroom, and has two windows that let in natural light.

Through the dining room is the cavernous family room that offers a sitting area, comfortably furnished living room with TV, and features original glass paned French doors that lead to the first-floor ocean front deck. Take a second to stop and admire the antique wall décor and historical memorabilia as you ascend the stairs. The top floor bathroom has a sizable claw foot tub and services the four close by bedrooms. An oceanfront guest room with two twin beds, a queen bed, vanity table, an TV makes a great accommodation for guests of all ages with two large windows that overlook the ocean and a convenient door that gives access to the top floor deck. The second guest room is furnished with two twin beds is a great place for kids as there is no exterior egress. Another guest room with two twin beds offers direct access to the ocean front deck and has a modest sink. The fourth guest room on this floor is outfitted with a queen-size bed and offers a modest sink.

Tips for getting the best Brunswick area rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Wrightsville Beach. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick the perfectrental home:

• Start by having your family decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Charming Beachfront Cottage on Historic Registry has 5 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Have a great stay:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address 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 review.
