Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
Welcome to our Wrightsville Beach getaway! This cozy house is perfect for your family's next vacation or couples retreat. Located on a quiet road just off the downtown Wrightsville strip, the views are truly special and the location is hard to beat. The beach access is ~40 yards from the front steps of the home. Watch the sunrise from the large ocean view deck with a cup of coffee, enjoy a day at the beach, and walk to buzzing restaurants all within 100 yards. Outdoor shower to rinse after a day at the beach. We adore our home and hope to share the experience with you!
Everything you could need is a stone's throw away! The little downtown area offers great ice cream shops, pizza, burgers, great restaurants, and surfing and beach needs. Aussie Rentals has an array of bikes and boards for rent. Wrightsville beach is very active community, and if you would like to exercise outside of the beach area, there is easy access to Wrightsville Beach Park a short stroll away. You will see this park driving onto the island and it offers public access to basketball courts, tennis courts, fields, and a small outdoor calisthenics gym. Surrounding this park is what is known as "The Loop", a 2.5 mile running (or walking) loop around the heart of Wrightsville. You will see plenty of people walking dogs, jogging, etc. Stop in at the Wrightsville beach museum or visit the Monday Farmers Market through the summer months. It is an easy drive off of Wrightsville to get to larger stores such as Harris Teeter, pharmacies, Mayfair Mall, and restaurants, and the wonderful fish market called Motts Channel. The large draw bridge takes you over the Intracoastal waterway, which is very scenic and offers some great seafood restaurants with views just a short drive away. Towards the southern end of the island (a fun bike ride or longer walk) is another surf shop, "Southend Surf Shop", with a cool coffee, smoothie and snack shop upstairs, called Sundays . The Oceanic Restaurant offers sea view dining and The Blockade runner resort offers great brunches and water activities such as sailing. There is so much more that this buzzing beach resort has to offer so come and discover for yourselves.

We were a group of eight girls celebrating un upcoming bride.. The house was perfect for our needs. There was plenty of room, it was clean and comfortable, location was perfect and even though it isn't beach front, there is a great view from the deck. The beach is just stops away and the beach chairs provided are good ones. We actually brought our own, because usually the rentals have no chairs or horrible ones. We will know next time! I would definitely rent this place again without a doubt.
Andrew was great to communicate with and the place was outstanding! Great neighbors and a great location! Thinking of next year already
We had a wonderful stay at Andrew’s place. The view is spectacular. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the balcony. We had lots of space for our family. We were steps from the beach and quick walk to town and coffee (The Workshop was our go to spot). Andrew was great to work with - we changed our plans a couple of times and he was responsive and flexible. Absolutely would stay at Andrew’s place again.
Unclean.. hair in showers dust in air ducts very dusty on all surfaces. Grim on fridge handles dirty island.
