About the host
Hosted by Derrick Wright
We're Derrick and Sarah — Wisconsin natives who traded the frozen tundra for the Carolina coast. We live for brats, cheese curds, and Packers games, but we've also seen the world — 48 US states, 4 countries, and mission trips to Belize, Mexico, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and Africa.
We know what it feels like to want a home base that actually feels like home. That's exactly why we host — and why we put our heart into this place.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for the same reasons you'll love it — a peaceful cul-de-sac with Ogden Park and Lewis Farm right around the corner, and Wrightsville Beach and Historic Downtown just 15 minutes away. The best of Wilmington, without the noise.
What makes this property unique
🔥 THE BACKYARD EXPERIENCE Most rentals offer a patio chair. We offer a full outdoor living room — pergola, fire pit, and yard games. It's a destination within the destination, and the reason most guests come back.
🌿 THE LOCATION SWEET SPOT Close enough to everything — Wrightsville Beach, Historic Downtown, UNCW, and Ogden Park — but tucked into a quiet, residential neighborhood. You get the peace of the suburbs with the access of being central. That's a hard combination to find.
🛏️ SLEEPS 7 COMFORTABLY Three true bedrooms with a thoughtful bed mix — king, queen, and a bunk room with a full and twin — means we serve families, friend groups, and multi-generational trips that struggle to find well-configured homes.
💛 HOSTS WHO ACTUALLY CARE Derrick and Charissa are always reachable and genuinely invested in your stay. Our reviews reflect what we believe — that real hospitality makes all the difference.
🏡 FARRINGTON FARMS NEIGHBORHOOD Quiet, safe, and family-friendly, with Ogden Park steps away — walking trails, tennis courts, a skate park, soccer fields, and a playground. A neighborhood feel that no hotel can offer.
