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 elegant 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!

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-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 appreciate vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Banks Channel, shady live oaks and handsome salt marshes as you make your way around this impressive 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.

Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

Summer months are the most expensive season in Wrightsville Beach. Booking in the Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Owners sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Often, rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking a perfect Carolina Beach vacation home:

First, have your family choose dates and a max budget.
Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Mr Frog's Figs & Ferns Beach Cottage - Swim & Kayak Launch w\/5 min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your group.
Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
