Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, this ocean-inspired property offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and style for your next coastal retreat on Wrightsville Beach.
Located on the top floor (3rd story) at the corner of W. Salisbury Street and N. Lumina, it doesn’t get any more convenient than this. Situated on the same block as Johnny Mercer’s famous fishing pier, this beachfront condo rental places you steps from the shoreline, where you can enjoy days in the waves and top off your evenings with spectacular sunset views from our balcony. This highly desirable Wrightsville Beach vacation rental is a prime choice for guests seeking the best location on the island.
**The Space:**
All dolled up and ready for your visit, this 538-square-foot, bright and sunny Wrightsville Beach rental has everything you need to experience coastal living in style. Professionally designed and thoughtfully executed, this property will not disappoint. The location is exceptional, offering ocean views and walkability to local bars, restaurants, kayak rentals, stand-up paddleboard rentals, Johnny Mercer’s Pier, and all the activities that make Wrightsville Beach one of the most popular beach destinations in North Carolina.
We provide a family-friendly vacation rental featuring a queen bed in the master bedroom and twin bunks with memory-foam mattresses and brand-new organic cotton bedding. Books and board games keep kids entertained after full days on the beach. Both the living room and bedroom include wall-mounted ROKU TVs—just bring your login credentials to enjoy all your favorite streaming apps.
Grocery delivery services are available in Wrightsville Beach. Concierge options can also be arranged upon request. If you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or other special occasion and would like to arrange a custom delivery such as flowers, a gift basket, or another surprise, let us know. We partner with a local concierge team who can assist for an additional fee. We’re happy to help create a truly unforgettable coastal vacation experience for you and your family.
The town has recently implemented a cutting-edge reverse osmosis water filtration system. This state-of-the-art technology ensures exceptionally clean, high-quality water for the entire island. Enjoy peace of mind and pristine drinking water throughout your stay.
Spacious and well laid out, the open floor plan welcomes your whole crew. Comfortable high-end furnishings, mindful design, and a stunning beachside backdrop make this ocean-area vacation rental the ideal location for your next family getaway. With close proximity to everything Wrightsville Beach has to offer, this property stands out as an exceptional choice for travelers.
Kick back, relax, and enjoy our gorgeous space in the heart of it all. Just a few steps to the beach, this 3rd-floor condo is located on the ocean side of Lumina Ave. An outdoor shower adds to the coastal luxury after long, sun-soaked beach days.
Alternate workspaces: The living room or patio offers refreshing settings for remote work and allows multiple guests to work comfortably at the same time.
Ergonomic support: Extra pillows and blankets provide additional comfort and support, giving you multiple cozy spots to use your laptop.
Good lighting: Large windows and sliding doors bring in abundant natural light, and each room includes a desk lamp to brighten your workspace during evening hours.
Fully equipped kitchen: The kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals, featuring granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a coffee maker, toaster, and blender.
Coffee maker: Guests love having a morning pick-me-up, so we provide ample coffee, filters, and sugar to jump-start your day at the beach.
Guest Access:
You will have full access to the entire unit. Located on the third-floor top corner of the Summer Place condominiums, this space includes an open-concept living room, breakfast bar, bathroom with a tub, master bedroom with sliding glass doors leading to the patio, and hallway bunk beds perfect for younger guests.
The Neighborhood:
Located in Summer Place condominiums, you will enjoy beautiful views and a central location to all that Wrightsville Beach has to offer. The condominiums consist of both full and part-time residents, so we ask that our guests respect our neighbors. Copies of HOA rules and policies are in the welcome book. We are happy to answer any of your questions before and during your visit.
Getting Around:
The unit includes two free parking spaces in the bay provided. Bring your bikes and cruise Wrightsville Beach, or rent one from one of our local rental agencies. Because we are located in the heart of it all, you can walk to enjoy all of our local bars, restaurants, and attractions. Only a 30-second walk to the sea, you can be out of bed and on the sand in time to enjoy your cup of coffee before it gets cold.
Other Things to Note:
Less than one block to the beach, we are located on the ocean side of Salisbury Street. You don’t have to cross the street to get to the ocean! We are on the same block as Johnny Mercer’s Pier, and just a few doors down from our local watering holes. Parking is a hot commodity in this town, so you will enjoy two parking spaces in our bay beneath our condo. The outdoor shower is a welcomed luxury after a full day in the sun. There is public Intracoastal Waterway access within walking distance, so kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and bike riding are great options if you are looking for activities to enjoy during your visit. We provide all linens, beach towels, pillows, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, dish soap, and all cleaning and paper supplies for your use during your visit.
Interaction with Guests:
We like to give our guests space to enjoy their vacations, but we are available if you need us. Please limit non-emergency texts to the hours of 6 AM and 9 PM. We will send you check-in instructions prior to your arrival date, with customized key codes and parking instructions.

We provide plenty of extra soft blankets, beach towels, bath linens, extra toiletries, laundry detergent and dish washing soaps. We also provide beach chairs that you're welcome to borrow. All you need is your bathing suit and sunscreen! Bring your bikes (you can store them under the building, at the bike racks-please bring a bike lock) and explore all that Wrightsville Beach has to offer. You can enjoy the local restaurants, fishing piers, boat docks and water sports all within very close proximity to our place. Uber and Lyft operate on the island, should you want to park your car for an evening and enjoy some of the restaurants on the Intracoastal Waterway.
