Beautiful home & location

Our family gathered to celebrate our daughter's college graduation and staying at a wonderful home on Wrightsville beach truly made it special time. The home is beautiful, well maintained and in a great location. The owners were responsive to a few minor issues we had. My family would not hesitate to visit this home again.

Perfect location for beach getaway

We loved our week here! A perfect spot for a multi-generation gathering from age 4 to 78. The location is so close to the beach (with lifeguards), but away from the real crowds at other beach accesses. The back deck overlooking the sound is magnificent. All the house amenities were a huge hit - fitness room, pool and ping pong tables, grill and paddle boards. We couldn't have asked for more.

About the host

I live in Chapel Hill, NC. This is my personal vacation home so it is fully equipped, no detail left out! I am available to help with any of your needs or requests and look forward to welcoming your group or family!

Once VRBO accepts your request, they will release details of my phone number and email.

Why they chose this property

The location is unmatched - beautiful sound views and steps to the beach! You can ride bikes (which we provide) to get coffee, food or ice cream, take kayaks (which we provide) on the intercoastal waterway, or just lounge with friends and family in a beautiful house! Chefs kitchen, full gym, hot tub, and much much more.... Hope to host you soon!

What makes this property unique

We try to anticipate your every need - the house is stocked and all rooms come with linens and basic needs. Plenty of space to cook and serve meals, catch up on work, read, screen movies, or sunbathe on one of the four outdoor porches! You won't find a better sunset view in all of Wrightsville Beach!
