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 appreciate 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 striking Atlantic Ocean. Several screen doors line the porches and allow for alluring cross breezes on warm summer evenings with the waves crashing in the background. There is a sizable shaded screened-in dining area off the kitchen which makes a ideal spot for gathering!

Guests of this beautiful 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 extraordinary family home. The kitchen features handsome 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 huge 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 appreciated 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 enormous 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.

Finding the best Brunswick area rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• To find the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking your Brunswick area rental:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Charming Beachfront Cottage on Historic Registry has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
