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 remodeled 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 excellent "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-adored 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 awe-inspiring 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!

Sensational 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 awesome 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

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your best deal:

• Summer is high season in the Brunswick area area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine 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 descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your group.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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.
