Enjoy great ocean and Banks Channel water views from the wrap around porch.

You are also a short walk to Johnny Mercer's Fishing Pier and Arcade, the local park and museum, other restaurants and shopping boutiques. To really enjoy the island rent a boat at Nautitimes (see related links) and dock during the day at Wynn Plaza one block from the house.
This 1930's home has been updated with modern conveniences but maintains the vintage charm of the classic beach cottage. Relax on the expansive wrap around porch overlooking the beach access with a cup of coffee in the mornings or a relaxing beverage in the afternoons and evenings.

The house was everything I'd hoped for. It was spacious and comfortable (including the beds which is often not the case in a rental). We practically lived on that wonderful porch. It was so relaxing to read in the hammock. The beach is so close we could leave our chairs and go back to the house for lunch. The only negative for some people might be that the street seems to be a favorite for parking for the bars at night and can get quite noisy between 1 and 2 AM for a bit but considering how great the house is and it's proximity to the beach I could easily overlook this and for those who don't go to bed so early they probably wouldn't even notice this. There is plenty of shopping, waterfront dining and historical tours nearby. We had a wonderful time and would highly recomend this property.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

My family had a wonderful time at your beach cottage. The super wonderful wrap porch had us enjoyting every day, especially the night of my daughters rehersal dinner. Everyone had plenty of room with all of the lovely porch chairs, rockers, etc. The accomodations were great and also the beautiful decorations in the beach house--it was so homey and we loved it. Thanks for such a fabulous place to make our wedding week a huge success. We hope to visit again some time.

OH MY! The character of this house is amazing! It is decorated perfectly for the setting and you immediately feel "at home!" However, you only need to be in the house to prepare food (oh and you have to have a big family breakfast and dinner at the large dining table!) and sleep. What the porch lends to this home cannot be described with words. Even on a rainy day, we were on the porch! The ocean sounds, the breeze and family gathered around.... again, no words can describe! You can walk to the beach in a minute! This was so nice! Watched many surfers walk to beach early morning. You could take your morning coffee and watch the sunrise! Many runners would also love this place. The loop is 'right there.' The memories from our week are forever etched in our minds! The owner was so pleasant to work with. The whole rental went without one single problem! If you are considering a week at Wrightsville Beach, you MUST consider this home! Thanks to the owners for sharing their home! I'm so "beach sick" already and haven't been home 24 hrs yet!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Wrightsville Beach. We spent a week in this wonderful cottage, just a minute walk to the beach. We brought our 2 young boys, 13 and 9, and my 76 year old mother-in-law, who isn't as mobile as she used to be. The house gave me great memories of being at my grandmother's house. It boasted a sense of peace, rest, and simplicity that you don't get from a hotel. We all had our own rooms and enough space to have private time. Although we usually found ourselves gathered on the porch to enjoy our family together. This house had everything we could have wanted to feel just like home and the location to the beach and the center of town is amazing! We would all recommend this house to anyone....so glad we found it!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car.

This house is in the perfect location at Wrightsville Beach!! It is literally steps from the beach and restaurants. The house suited our needs perfectly! Plenty of elbow room and the front porch was a great place to sit and watch all. I hope we can stay again in the near future!! 10 Thumbs up for this one!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

Five women, who had not seen each other since high school, reunited at this wonderful house for an exceptional three day "Big Chill" weekend. This beach house was charming with the original bead board ceilings and paneled doors and yet the kitchen and bathrooms were up to date. Most of our catching up was spent outside on the large veranda containing cushioned wicker furniture and rocking chairs. The owner was a pleasure to work with and made the entire process very easy. So, we have already decided to return to that very same house soon, as it would be hard finding another beach cottage with such great ambiance, 20 steps to the beach. Thank you for the opportunity to experience it!Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

This beautiful cottage was everything we hoped and expected it would be. Being very familiar with the area, we already knew it was an ideal location as you can walk within two minutes to the beach, restaurants, custard and italian ice shops, a sports bar and grocery store and well as the famed "loop". The thing the sets this property apart from so many others is the incredible traditional charm and "beach cottage" feel that you get as soon as you set foot on the big wraparound porch ( the hammock and wicker furniture were well used by our family). The rooms were very large and nicely appointed with just the right touch of items that give the rooms a great "coastal" feel. The house is well maintained and everything (appliances, TVs, Wi-fi, BBQ grill) worked great. Also, having parking for three vehicles is very helpful in an area where parking is at a premium. The owner was a pleasure to work with. He answered our questions and worked out the agreement details very professionally. Every detail regarding the property was just as listed on VRBO. I would recommend this cottage to all who want an attractive, comfortable and convenient place to stay in Wrightsville Beach. We certainly intend to take advantage this property againRecommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Wrightsville Beach:
We bought this home from the family that built the property back in the 1930's. Our two children have grown up enjoying the beach and life here at Wrightsville Beach. We are ready to share our home with guests now that our children are older and more involved with activities that do not allow us to be at the beach as much as in past years.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The best benefit of the property is its location. Once you arrive there is no reason to get back in your car for anything unless you want to visit other areas around Wrightsville. Restaurants, shops and a grocery store are all within two blocks. We do encourage you to visit downtown historic Wilmington and its beautiful riverfront.
