Mr Frog's Figs & Ferns Beach Cottage - Swim & Kayak Launch w/5 min Walk to Beach

Welcome to the relaxing neighborhood of Harbor Island at Wrightsville Beach and Mr Frog's Figs & Ferns Cottage!

This furnished street level cottage is located in an exclusive neighborhood quietly tucked just a stroll away from the hustle & bustle of the WB strip and it's beautiful 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 built in the 1940's, but updated with all the modern conveniences we enjoy. And it's one of the only solar powered homes at Wrightsville Beach that generates enough power to totally offset it's carbon footprint, along with some of our neighbors too!

The 1st floor 900 sqft 2 bed 1 bath (+ outdoor shower) offers a large living room, newly renovated bathroom, full kitchen, full size fridge, Keurig, flat screen Smart TV, fiber optic internet, washer/dryer, 2 full size beds + 1 twin pull-out sofa. Out back you’ll encounter one of the largest lush green yards in the neighborhood with a wonderful open to the stars hot outdoor shower, mature landscape, gas bar-b-que grill 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 pets & no smoking please.

This beach cottage is also the perfect starting point to your Island adventure! Right across the street, the Islands most pristine public access to Banks Channel offers you endless 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 scenic trail. It is a well-loved treasure that offers a walking or jogging experience you won’t find anywhere else. Feel at home with a morning run or stroll as you enjoy views of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Banks Channel, shady live oaks and beautiful salt marshes as you make your way around this awesome path. While always active but never crowded, it is sure to inspire you to move! Want a different mode of transportation? Bike rentals are just a 5 min walk over the Causeway bridge!

Beautiful 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 shops, restaurants, Ice Cream & Frozen Custard at the beach ~ The Workshop, Tower 7, South Beach Grill, 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 fabulous 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

Lovely cottage, welcoming hosts
A charming home in a lovely neighborhood close enough to walk to the beach, yet far enough from the crowds to enjoy quiet walks on the treelined streets of Harbor Island. The rental, which offered everything we needed for our weeklong stay, is on the lower level of a two story home. Owners Trish and Dan live above, gracious hosts who respect the privacy of their guests. They've provided the setting for a perfect getaway.

Perfect for Fall Getaway
Perfect and adorable house for a Fall long weekend. We walked to the beach and ice cream stand, just over the causeway and swam in the channel across the street from the house. Beds were so comfortable and Kitchen was well equipped and had more than enough storage. Outdoor shower was a nice surprise. Don and Trish are the perfect hosts. We will definitely be back!

Cozy, tucked away cottage
This is a well-maintained, thoughtful property that the hosts clearly care about. The first floor of the house and the grounds are both well taken care of and the hosts are nearby if needed, but have a light touch so you can enjoy your privacy. It's a lot of fun to stay in a neighborhood on Wrightsville rather than one of the commercial properties, and I enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and not have to pay for parking.

Great cottage
This cottage is as described. It was super clean upon arrival, which is always a huge bonus! The inter coastal water access point is only steps away and a great place to sit if you are not up for a beach day. The beach is super close as well. The cottage was comfortable for the 2 adult couples on this trip. The cottage is within walking distance to restaurants. The owners were gracious and accommodating. The owners were easy to contact and communication was a breeze. They offered wood for the outdoor fire pit but unfortunately we didn’t have time to sit by the fire. We will definitely visit again! Highly recommend!

Great stay
I appreciated this quiet neighborhood & peaceful place to stay while visiting family. It was nice to walk over the bridge & get to the beach in just a short amount of time. The space is good for relaxing & has a little patio area with an Adirondack chair which I enjoyed for morning coffee. I would recommend this place!
