Luxury Estate Casa Blanca - Direct Ocean/Beachfront front Access & HEATED Pool
We typically rent Saturday to Saturday in the summer months. We have a direct private path to the beach right out from the pool/lawn to the sand and ocean. Easy 20 second walk. NOTE-This is a pet free home due to severe allergies. No exceptions 3 king bedrooms, 2 twins in bedroom, 2 twin pullouts in private sitting room, 3 twins in bunk room. 4 bedroom total with 2 extra private sleeping areas which include a private sitting room and bunk room. Please note that the bunk room is attached to the house but you need to go outside the door by the pool to access it. It does not have direct access to a bathroom. You would need to walk about 5 steps to the door to the house to access the bathroom. Great for older kids and extra sleeping but I would not want to stay out there nor would I want my young kids to stay. My tween/teens love it. It has a window heating and air unit. Spend your vacation in elegance and comfort. Casa Blanca offers a heavenly escape with its upscale, professionally decorated and unparalleled views of ocean and views of the sound. A truly grand vacation home with special attention to detail and your every comfort in mind. Relax around the private in ground plunge pool or enjoy a swim in the ocean just a few steps away. Ground Level: Large entrance foyer that opens to the outdoor pool with spacious decking for sun bathing. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. An extra room that you enter from the outside near the pool area - furnished with 3 singles which could be used as extra sleeping for older children or adult, also great for children's daytime nap while others are enjoying the pool. Large Beach side lawn for play/games. The main level features a large open floor- plan with living-dining-kitchen designed for family gatherings. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious enough for multiple cooks. 2 dishwashers, wet bar with wine cooler, Gas fireplace, 1/2 bath, separate laundry room, large flat screen TV & DVD combo that opens to a wonderful oceanfront porch. The master suite includes an attached sitting room (private when doors are closed) with 2 large single sleeper chairs, luxury master bath, separate walk-in shower and 2 large closets. Ipod docking stations and High Speed Wireless Internet. All bedrooms have flat screen TV/DVD combo's . Outside shower (hot and cold) with dressing area. Parking for 5-6 cars in 2 car garage and driveway. Linens are included in the rental. Bring beach towels and umbrella. NO STUDENTS RENTALS. Casa Blanca Wrightsville Beach recently had a propane pool heater put in. The cost if you would like the pool heated during your stay is $350 per week. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in so we can arrange to have it turned on during your stay. The heater is brand new so it should work great. It will take the pool from 65 degrees to 85 degrees so you and your guests would be able to enjoy the pool during the off season. If you have young ones joining you this would be a really fun addition. The pool is open year round but it would be chilly after mid October unless you opt to heat it. Please note that we cannot guarantee the pool heater and will refund the $350 charge in the event it does not work. The salt ocean is very hard and the heaters only last a short time at the beach. We are not able to give discounts on your nightly rental rate only a refund on the heater charge. It is only a few years old so it should work great though.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach house—it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and at home. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed with comfort and ease in mind.The location truly couldn’t be better. Just steps from the beach, we loved starting our mornings with coffee and ocean views and ending the day with stunning sunsets. The outdoor space was a highlight—perfect for relaxing, dining, and soaking in the coastal breeze.Inside, everything was well-stocked and incredibly comfortable. The beds were cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still feeling connected. It struck the perfect balance between cozy and spacious.
Beautiful house, best location in Wrightsville Beach. We have stayed before in this house several years ago and it was just as amazing. Highly recommend this property.
The house Casa Blanca was beautiful. It was very well appointed with everything you would need for a beach vacation. Its location on the beach was perfect! We also loved the warm pool!Tom, one of the hosts was very helpful when one of our sons arrived feeling ill. He called a doctor friend and helped insure our son was ok which he was. Thanks very much for our excellent stay at this gorgeous location!
Overall experience was wonderful. The house was very nice, perfect views and great location. The house itself was only overshadowed by the service which is the best I’ve ever encountered. Tom called several days before and the day of our arrival to be sure that all needs were met. He checked in and even went out of his way to return an item that was left behind. Hands down the best experience we’ve had. Highly recommend.
We love Wrightsville Beach; this was our 5th consecutive year of vacationing as a family there. Casa Blanca was our favorite home. We have rented it so far, and we love the north end of the island.
This has to be one of the best properties on Wrightsville Beachfront. We most enjoyed the amazing views, the swimming pool and short walk down the private path to the beach. The beach area directly behind Casa Blanca was much less populated than anywhere else up and down Wrightsville Beach. So nice! The house was outfitted with everything we needed. And Tom was great, helping us get acquainted with the house, and setting up a beach day our first full day there. We’ll be back!
This is a beautiful house that is perfect for family gatherings. Lovely stretch of beach and charming pool area perfect for relaxing. House feels like it’s been loved and lived in by real people (not a glorified hotel). We loved it and would definitely come back!
Great house. Great beach front location! Only recommendation would be for the owners to work on eliminating the large bugs that come out at night on the porch.

Thank you John for the review. We appreciate it. We professionally spray the house quarterly but being right on the beach we can only do so much. Sneaky little things they are. :)
Really beautiful home, beautiful views, clean and very well heated pool, lovely beach. Great porch, comfy furniture and beds. I'd highly recommend this rental home. We had a blast!!

Casa Blanca
We have been coming to Wrightsvill Beach/Figure Eight Island for over 40 years and this is the nicest place we have ever stayed in. It is hard to find really clean homes in the area, Casa Blanca is spotless offering very comfortable living arrangements.

Rob,
Tom said the same thing about you. Top notch guests. Thank you for taking great care of the home and leaving it pristine after your weeks stay. Hope you are able to come back year after year. We appreciate the wonderful review.
Kind Regards,

We absolutely loved this home! The views are dreamy, and the whole home feels so special. The second floor (where the kitchen, family room, and primary suite are) really maximize the ocean views. It was truly the perfect stay in the perfect home. We also loved the pool, the quick walk to the beach, and how quiet and serene the location is. Communication was a fantastic and easy. Couldn't say enough great things about this place and the people who are managing it. Thank you!
We have been returning to Casa Blanca each year since 2019. It is something we really look forward to. Everything about Casa Blanca is perfect…the location, floor plan, being well stocked in the kitchen, comfort galore! We’re already looking forward to 2024.
Very comfortable house with all the amenities. The view of the ocean is spectacular. Stayed with family to attend our son's wedding at the Wrightsville Manor. House was perfect for our entire family ages 13-85 years. Property Manager, Tom was great with communication and extremely helpful with everything.
Absolutely outstanding beach house and experience. Everything was perfect from start to finish. An amazing amount of beach equipment, bikes, and water toys. The kitchen was exceptionally equipped and supplied. Tom was very available and helpful as the property handyman. Concur with the 10/10 rating given by others.

About the host
Hosted by Brooke Richardson
Bruce and Barbara Swenson purchased this upscale luxury vacation home in 2008. They fell in love with this home because of the most spectacular ocean views they have ever seen. It is truly a unique custom home. They hired one of the areas premier interior decorates to furnish the home. This home has been featured in many of the areas upscale publications. Bruce and Barbara are from the San Francisco Bay area and vacation in the home several weeks throughout the year so they can be close to their twin grandchildren that live just a few miles away from the beach house. Their son and daughter are local real estate agents in the Wilmington area and help to manage the vacation rental.
Why they chose this property
Direct oceanfront. Walk right out to the sea. No need to walk around to find a path. Also Marsh view from the back. Double lot of extra privacy and beach does not get crowded. Tons of parking. Way more than any other homes in the area due to the double lot. Their daughter and son in law Brooke and Jeff Richardson helped them find the house for sale and have managed it for 15 plus years now. They are both local Wilmington NC Real Estate agents. They reside in Wilmington across the bridge and will resect guests privacy but also be available as needed for essential items. We also have Tom, our amazing house manager for guests to contact as needed.
What makes this property unique
Best views. Privacy, lots of parking and direct access to the beach with less crowds.
