Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This newly remodeled bungalow still holds the appeal + character of its historic past while offering all of the modern style + amenities desired in a 5 star stay. Located along a residential street you are mere steps to both the soundside (spectacular sunsets) and the ocean when sun and sand are calling. Savor 2 on-site parking spaces. Location cant be beat! Flipflops are all that’s needed to access the local hotspots. Walk to iconic Trolly Stop, Tower 7, stores… This handsome property features a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed, ensuring a terrific nighttime's sleep for all guests.

Entirely modernized in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach bungalow vibe.

What we adore most about The Latimer is the premiere location with peek-a- boo vistas of Banks Channel Sound and an simple 2 min. walk to the Ocean. Don’t miss a single sunset from the covered front porch. Plan to relax and appreciate the breeze on the swing after a sun-filled beach day in the sand with your drink of choice….sip your morning coffee, basking in the early sunshine on the private side porch.

When it’s time to head out and discover the island you are in the premiere spot! Walk to all of the local favorites. Trolly Stop hotdogs are not to be missed along with a margarita and fish taco from Tower7. Circles ice cream makes a summer nighttime sweeter.

Strategies for getting the perfect Wrightsville Beach vacation property experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Wrightsville Beach. Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available online. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Cape Fear area attraction you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
