About this property

Fire Pit Retreat · Games · Beach & Downtown

Evenings under the pergola, fire crackling, cornhole in the yard — then 15 minutes to Wrightsville Beach or downtown Wilmington's restaurants and riverwalk. That's what waits for you at the Fire Pit Retreat.

Three bedrooms sleep up to 7 comfortably — a king, queen, and bunk room perfect for families or groups. Fully stocked kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, fast WiFi, and smart lock self check-in make every stay effortless. Ogden Park is steps away. The beach, Historic Downtown, and UNCW are all within 15 minutes. Derrick and Sarah are always just a message away.

__________

THE BACKYARD
The heart of this home is outside. A custom pergola with string lights anchors the private yard, with a propane fire pit for evening conversations and a full set of yard games for friendly competition. It is designed for groups that actually want to spend time together.

__________

THE SPACE
Three bedrooms sleep up to 7 comfortably — a king for the master, a queen for guests, and a bunk room with a full on the bottom and twin on top, perfect for kids or a third couple. Two full baths, a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook a real meal, and an in-unit washer/dryer that makes longer stays effortless. 55" Roku TV for easy evenings in.

__________

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Farrington Farms is one of Wilmington's quietest, most family-friendly neighborhoods. Ogden Park is steps away with walking trails, tennis courts, a skate park, soccer fields, and a playground. Wrightsville Beach, Historic Downtown, and UNCW are all within 15 minutes.

This property was in a quiet location with plenty of parking for our 3 cars (coming from 3 states). The house was clean, the beds very comfortable and it was exactly as advertised. After a long day out and about, we enjoyed the chance to regroup together at the firepit. This is now my #1 choice when I return to Wilmington.

The house was in a great central location, making it easy to check out the town and get to the beach quickly. Everything was clean and just as pictured. We had a little trouble with the AC and thermostat, but messaged our host and he was super responsive and figured it out right away. We had a great time and loved the house!

Bungalow

House was very clean and nice. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. Yard needed a little cleaning up. But overall it was just what we needed.

Great place

Convenient to area attractions, quiet, clean, information provided was extremely well organized. Great Communication. Would definately stay again if in that area. Can't remember the name of the nearby tiny roadside oldest zoo in the area, but initially looked a bit questionable, but gambled and we all had a great time. Animals and zoo seemed well kept. Don't judge the "book" by its cover. Tour of the Battleship was exceptional. Lighthouse was closed.

About the host

Hosted by Derrick Wright

Host profile image
We're Derrick and Sarah — Wisconsin natives who traded the frozen tundra for the Carolina coast. We live for brats, cheese curds, and Packers games, but we've also seen the world — 48 US states, 4 countries, and mission trips to Belize, Mexico, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and Africa.

We know what it feels like to want a home base that actually feels like home. That's exactly why we host — and why we put our heart into this place.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for the same reasons you'll love it — a peaceful cul-de-sac with Ogden Park and Lewis Farm right around the corner, and Wrightsville Beach and Historic Downtown just 15 minutes away. The best of Wilmington, without the noise.

What makes this property unique

🔥 THE BACKYARD EXPERIENCE
Most rentals offer a patio chair. We offer a full outdoor living room — pergola, fire pit, and yard games. It's a destination within the destination, and the reason most guests come back.

🌿 THE LOCATION SWEET SPOT
Close enough to everything — Wrightsville Beach, Historic Downtown, UNCW, and Ogden Park — but tucked into a quiet, residential neighborhood. You get the peace of the suburbs with the access of being central. That's a hard combination to find.

🛏️ SLEEPS 7 COMFORTABLY
Three true bedrooms with a thoughtful bed mix — king, queen, and a bunk room with a full and twin — means we serve families, friend groups, and multi-generational trips that struggle to find well-configured homes.

💛 HOSTS WHO ACTUALLY CARE
Derrick and Charissa are always reachable and genuinely invested in your stay. Our reviews reflect what we believe — that real hospitality makes all the difference.

🏡 FARRINGTON FARMS NEIGHBORHOOD
Quiet, safe, and family-friendly, with Ogden Park steps away — walking trails, tennis courts, a skate park, soccer fields, and a playground. A neighborhood feel that no hotel can offer.
