We had an absolutely fabulous time staying and there’s a VRBO. It was decorated very nicely, had nice amenities, looked like it was recently renovated, and unit said there was lots of privacy, very easy access to the airport and to the beach. Definitely a place that I will be coming back to because of the convenience and the quality of the finishings. I’m accustomed to renting Inspirato homes and this was just as nice as my experiences with Inspirato. Very impressed with this VRBO.

Great Property
My wife and I spent a week here with my daughter before moving her to UNCW. This property is fantastic. The location is perfect as it is close to so many different things (beach, restaurants, grocery, etc) with many being walkable. Additionally, the availability of the community amenities was a nice plus (pool, tennis/pickleball, etc.) The name says it all, luxury townhouse near Wrightsville beach. That is exactly the description I would give. I would highly recommend this property to anyone headed to this area!
