About this property

What's In A Name, Newly Renovated! Book Now for May, Sleeps 16. No summer crowds


Bring the whole family and enjoy front-row ocean access in this spacious, beautifully updated beachfront home. With 6 bedrooms and 4 full baths, there's plenty of room for everyone to relax, spread out, and make memories.

The location of this oceanfront beauty cannot be beat. The view is out of this world. Just 7 blocks south of the Surf City Pier, it sits in the most desired section of South Shore Drive, before the S curve. Very easy walk to the pier, shops, and restaurants.

All bathrooms have been completely renovated featuring stunning tile detail and spa-like finishes. Brand new flooring flows throughout the first floor adding a clean, modern feel. The heart of the house is the spectacular, fully updated kitchen, thoughtfully equipped for real cooking and family meals. You'll find a 36" induction stove, an oversized 48" refrigerator, new cookware, extra sharp knives, new cutting boards, plus the kitchen comes stocked with essential spices, olive oil, and vinegars.

Step outside to soak in the ocean breeze, unwind after a day in the sand and enjoy the convenience of a home designed for comfort, connection, and easy coastal living.

We have extremely comfortable high back resin chairs on the roomy deck so you can relax by the ever-changing ocean, watch the sun rise, pods of dolphins, the occasional whale, and witness the colorful sky during sunset. You will love sitting under the beautiful night sky, stargazing till your heart's content. And if you're lucky, you will see a spectacular space launch traveling up the coast from Florida.

The main living area has a nice big smart TV, and plenty of seating. And did I mention the views? Also on the first floor are four bedrooms and two baths, three counting the primary. The first bedroom has two twins, the second has one queen, the third has two queens, and the fourth is the oceanfront primary king with attached bath. Upstairs you will find a loft, with amazing views(in case I forgot to mention), a smart TV, two built in bunks, one bedroom with a daybed and trundle, and another bedroom with king, and another full bath.

Just off of the living room is a screened in porch, a nice place to relax out of the sun but still be outdoors.

We do not provide linens, you can bring your own, or rent your own. I recommend Sweet Dreams Linens, they do a fantastic job.

Do yourself a favor and give this place a chance! Pets will be considered, if cleared with us first. Maximum of two dogs, no cats. There is a pet fee.

We look forward to serving your vacation needs!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Benson

Host profile image
We are originally from Ohio, I grew up visiting Wrightsville Beach every summer and knew from the time I was a little girl that I would live on the beach one day. That day happened August 27, 2016. We bought our first vacation rental, SomeBeach in 2014. My husband is still traveling back and forth between Ohio and here, but we are hoping he gets down her on a permanent basis very soon.

Why they chose this property

This house fit perfectly into our business plan. We wanted to have several houses in close proximity, so it would be perfect for for large families, reunions, weddings, retreats, etc. This is our second oceanfront property, the other two properties are second row and all are very close together.

What makes this property unique

What's In A Name has some of the best views on the island. We are working hard to put our special touch on it to make it a place that you will want to visit again and again!
