"Perfect location!" Walk everywhere! Dogs Yay! Special 10% off June 14-20

Guests consistently say "perfect location!"

If you want a quiet, laid-back, private retreat in the middle of the thriving Wrightsville Beach scene, check out this little bungalow! Truly the best of both worlds, this 2 bedroom, 1 and ½ bath cottage is located on a quiet neighborhood one-way street with mostly foot traffic BUT also in the middle of everything at Wrightsville Beach. After a grocery run, you can park your car for the remainder of your stay because “all things fun” can be reached on foot. That’s right….the beach, the channel, great restaurants, awesome coffee houses, surf shops, ice cream, supplies, and gifts are all within a 5-9 min walk. It is an outdoor enthusiast “candy store!” Bikes will get you there even faster. If you must drive, we have a WB resident parking pass for your use which allows you to park right at the beach. What a deal!

Pets? $200 pet fee. Rules: 1. One dog only at the discretion of the owner. 2. No aggressive breeds - pit bull, chow, etc... 3. No dogs that bark a lot. We like our neighbors :-). 4. If they need to be on the furniture, bring your own blankets to keep dirt/hair out of ours.

The Bungalow - Discover the quaint charm of this 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath cottage with a relaxing screen porch and outdoor patio. Enjoy the breezes that blow through as you read a book, have a cocktail with a friend, or just ponder life. If you happen to visit during a month with an “R”, you must have an oyster roast on the vintage brick patio under trees. There is a cozy living/kitchen/eating area where you can prepare fresh Mahi or Grouper from Motts Seafood, enjoy a glass of wine, or snuggle up to watch a movie. We love the expansive window bar that makes us feel as if we are still outdoors. Well-stocked kitchen with blender, toaster, kettle, microwave, and everything needed to cook. The beds are comfortable. Wifi allows for streaming with Roku. The beds are super comfortable: Queen, 1 twin, and one futon. This house is not the "granite countertop experience, but it is a 1950's style laid-back throw back beach house. New for 2025 - full bath complete renovation and the kitchen floors have been restored to original hardwood - photos to be updated in May. The easy living and unbeatable location are why people return to the Island Bungalow.

We provide two bicycles. You can rent SUP, kayak, surfboard, and additional bikes just a few minutes walk. 250 feet from our front door there is public access for easy entry into Bank's channel. You will certainly be able to unwind in this comfortable home.

Fishing: From USA Today…
“With two fishing piers and four miles of white sand beaches, the town of Wrightsville Beach is a prime destination for fishing. Wrightsville Beach overlooks the Atlantic Ocean along North Carolina's Outer Banks, and anglers can catch a variety of native and migratory saltwater game fish including summer flounder, speckled sea trout, and Spanish mackerel. Angling opportunities are available year-round.

Downtown Wilmington: Often referred to as “little Charleston” has been a great destination for great restaurants, nightlife, NC Battleship, Riverwalk, Cruises, Historical tours, art shops, Cotton Exchange, Gem studios, Horse and Carriage rides, and a free trolley. In the last couple of years, this area has become hot with growth adding Convention Center, Performing Arts Center, Marina, Riverwalk extension, public concerts, and Saturday morning farmers market. Soon there will be a new public park at the new marina. A trip here during your stay is a must….Ask about favorite restaurants.
