About this property

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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!

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!

Family Getaway

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.

The perfect beach house

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!

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.

Beautiful Home

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend away and it was amazing. Tom got the house ready for our arrival and had music playing on the house speakers when we got there. We loved that the speaker system is in each room plus outside so we got to listen to music everywhere. The views are unbeatable. We used the heated pool several times and it was great in the chilly weather. We got every meal delivered through DoorDash and had access to so many restaurant options. Highly recommend staying here!

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.

Beautiful Views,

This home was perfect for our annual family beach trip. The view left us speechless, from the upstairs deck or the pool patio. The home was clean, spacious, and fully equipped. We made home cooked meals, played in the pool, and walked on the beach. Our contact met us at the house to show us around and stayed in constant communication about anything we needed to know about the home. Another great beach vacation in a great house.

Beautiful setting, beautiful property

Casa Blanca elevates a typical vacation rental to a resort like experience. The linens and furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. The Palm trees and pool frame the dunes and ocean perfectly. We have already booked for next year as no other rental on Wrightsville compares. My only suggestion would be to replace the mattress in the master bedroom and to update the cookware. Everything else was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Brooke Richardson

Host profile image
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.
