We had a wonderful stay in this charming home. We enjoyed the porches and the beautiful view of the ocean. The location was great - within walking distance of coffee shops and restaurants. Inside was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again and highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Wrightsville Beach.

Wrightsville historical home

This vacation home was perfect for our family of five with room to spare. We loved the character of this older historic home and the location was absolutely perfect. It was just a few steps to the beach and we could easily walk to the shops, restaurants or Robert’s grocery. We really enjoyed our time there!

Our family had a great time staying at this historic cottage on Wrightsville Beach. We’ve been going to WB for years and this was like experiencing the beach in the days of Lumina. Can’t beat the location and we will definitely consider renting again. Thanks for sharing your families cottage with us.
