This is a nice and clean place with a great location. There is a view from the porch. The kitchen is very small, but it’s priced accordingly.

Excellent Stay

We really enjoyed our stay on the top floor of this 1940s beach cottage. It was clean and the location was excellent with a short walk to the beach. The porch is amazing with a view of the ocean in the distance. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice that beach chairs were provided as well as other beach equipment (paddle ball, wagon, boogie boards etc...) The owner was very kind and responsive.

We had a marvelous and relaxing stay at Barbara’s lovely and spotless “Pink House.” Even during an extreme heat wave, we enjoyed sea breezes on the front porch and colorful sunrises and sunsets. The house is nicely renovated and perfectly furnished for a comfortable stay, but the location itself exceeded all expectations. It’s our new favorite location on the island - just one house off Lumina between the bridges, easy walking distance to either Johnny Mercer’s Pier or the Breeza “downtown” area. The under-house storage area is thoughtfully enclosed and includes a pristine laundry area and beach shower as well as chairs and wagons, even coolers, to borrow. We had great weather for reading and swimming and making the most of our time at the beach, just a short walk from the house via a really good access point. Communications with Barbara and her support team were top notch. We can’t wait to book our next visit!

Eagle’s Nest at the Pink House

Our stay at the Pink House (upstairs) was just what our family needed. Close proximity to the beach, N Lumina Ave and downtown Wilmington made for an excellent location! This is definitely a 1940s cottage experience and fit our needs perfectly. Ryan and Kelly (hosts) checked in with us promptly and although we didn’t need anything while we were there, we knew they would have responded promptly if needed. Thank you also to Barbara who made the booking process exceptionally easy, which included working with us for a slightly earlier check in. Great experience and we will book the Eagle’s Nest in the future!

Spring break

House was great! Deck was awesome! Location is great. Third bedroom/pullout sofa was very dated and uncomfortable, but my boys didn’t care. Also could’ve used a dishwasher. Other than that we would definitely go again.

4th of July Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation on Wrightsville Beach. The Pink House was perfect for this family vacation and the location is great. The beach chairs and wagon made heading to the beach comfortable. We will definitely look to book this spot in the future. Unfortunately the grill was not usable for finishing the ribs in the 4th. Other than that the Eagles Nest was comfortable and we enjoyed watching fireworks on the porch.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Artist and entrepreneur, I have been residing in Chapel Hill for the past 40 years. Owner of Barbara McFadyen Jewelry, Inc., I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and beekeeper!
I have lived in Wilmington for over half a dozen years and have enjoyed the family feel of Wrightsville beach since the mid-'70s.

Why they chose this property

Ideally located a short 1/2 block from the beach, and midway from Johnny Mercer's pier and the heart of downtown Wrightsville beach on a quiet street with family-owned, year-round resident properties. This property has a breezy porch with an eagle's view of the ocean and a "secret garden" in a fenced-in backyard.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Beach, Town, Shops, and local dining. Just steps to the beach and one short block walk to the sound where you can see beautiful sunsets. If you're a fisherman, Johnny Mercer's pier is just 5 blocks away! If you like a high aerie view, homey feel but updated convieneces~ Eagles Nest is for you!
