wonderful week!

We were blessed by our stay at Tipsy Cottage. With room for all of our large family on the friendly and welcoming porch, we enjoyed a togetherness that is often difficult with an expanding family of various ages. Our grandchildren enjoyed diving and swimming off the pier; our adult children could easily access the channel for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing, Easy access to the ocean, with wagons and carts available for necessary cargo. The kitchen upgrades were great. We are looking forward to returning next year. Hopefully an extra bathroom or two will be considered.

Great cottage

This cottage exceeded all of our expectations. Great location on the water with amazing views, great beach access, and perfect amenities. Stocked kitchen with everything you need, beach towels, great beach chairs, boogie boards, a great dock, washer/dryer and more. My family grew up on Wrightsville Beach and everyone loved this older cottage with the perfect blend of old character and new amenities. The dock was priceless! We all hope to be back and would rent again!

Amazing location and great host!

The Tipsy Cottage is right on the channel, has pier access, and a huge back porch with incredible sunset views! The house was built in the 1930's is spacious, it has an older configuration of rooms but has great character with an updated kitchen. It's just a short block walk to the Ocean which was great and family also rented and used paddle boards and kayaks off the pier. Frank was a great host, very responsive and went out of his way to be helpful and he always quickly replied to any texts!
