Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This freshly modernized 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. Appreciate 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 enchanting property features a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed, ensuring a terrific nighttime's sleep for all guests.

Entirely remodeled in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach bungalow vibe. This top floor, 3 bedroom bungalow still features her wide plank shiplap ceilings, original wood floors and cavernous, covered front porch…while also offering completely refreshed and modernized living areas. The kitchen and bath are completely updated for everybody’s comfort and convenience. Not to be missed is the freshly installed, whole home Kinetico water filtration system! No beach water here. We offer healthy, filtered dinking and bathing water along with non-toxic cleaning practices and organic, bespoke scented reed diffusers (crafted by us!) for healthy, all-natural indoor environments for all of our guests.

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 savor 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. Local surf stores, stores, nightlife and the island’s long standing, Robert’s Grocery store are within an painless walk from the bungalow. If you want to rent bicycles, they can be delivered to your door ready to pedal your way along our 3 mile island from inlet to inlet.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If not, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
