Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo

KarenRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The condo was absolutely beautiful and in a great location we were right on the beach. There were multiple great restaurants and bars within walking distance as well as a tiki bar .7 mile away to the right and 2 miles to the left. We loved sitting out in the chairs on the balcony and watching the sun come up and going up on the roof in the evening and watching the sunset behind us! We actually went to several of their recommended restaurants, nearby, and almost all of them we could walk to. We did not need a rental car to stay at this property, which was awesome. I would definitely stay there again when I go back to Carolina Beach.!

Stay Salty Villa *PooL open 5/15* walk to beach

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was the perfect weekend stay for our small family! The condo was spacious, clean, and surprisingly toddler-friendly, which we really appreciated with a 2- and 4-year-old in tow. It’s just one block from the public beach access, and there were plenty of fun places to explore within a mile. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for a relaxing family getaway!

Just Steps To The Beach

ShannonRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We needed a quick last minute getaway and this was the perfect spot. Close to the beach and the pier (which was still halfway closed since being damaged by a hurricane). You can still walk down there and grab a drink and relax however. Hosts were very responsive and easy to work with and the space was just right for the two of us.

🐶 BOW•WOW🐾 BEACH•BUNGALOW™🏖 🏠Cozy & Dog Friendly🐶

XavierRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Set back the Atlantic by a 10 minute walk surrounded by oaks and in a superbly safe, clean, and most importantly quiet neighborhood; this is where the quiet happens. Everything worked without any discovery learning. This stay was for the quiet and to let my dogs experience the ocean. The stay met all of the objectives at an intelligent cost. Every thought went into the amenities and conveniences offered. It was like putting on those well worn slippers and relaxing where nothing interrupts thought. As for the dogs, they enjoyed the well laid out house and dog park plus the salt water swims. It is a great place for walks and just about anything else one may want to do. Truly a great place to unwind with your K9’s.

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!

AutumnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The space was exactly as described and Diane was super responsive and helpful. The kids loved the hot tub, there were tons of unexpected amenities (waffle maker! Cupcake liners!) which made for more breakfast and snack options. Be sure to plan for renting a car - while there is a nice restaurant next door, you’ll need it to get around. I would recommend planning a stop to the carnivorous plant garden while you’re in town!

Walk to the Beach, Fenced, Fire Pit

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We just got back from the most amazing stay at this beach house and can’t say enough great things! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything a family could need—including games for the kids, and even dog bowls and beds for our pups! The fenced yard gave our dogs plenty of space to play safely, and the short walk to the beach was easy to manage. The beach itself was quiet and clean—perfect for relaxing. If you’re looking for an stress-free, family- and dog-friendly beach retreat, this is it!

AutumnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved staying here! It was the perfect girls getaway! It was cozy and had plenty of space! If we could have stayed longer we would have. We were able to walk to a little park that was having a spring festival and the area itself was so quiet and peaceful. Amazing porch view too! Absolutely loved the home and would definitely stay again!

Blue Surf

CharlesRating, 5 stars1 week ago
10/10!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this sound-side waterfront property. The location was ideal - just a 6-7 minute walk to the pier/beach and adjacent to the 2.5-mile "loop" walking path. The pet-friendly policy was perfect for us, allowing access to the property's essentially private beach area where there are paddle boards and kayaks. During the summer dog restrictions on public beaches, this private access was invaluable for our furry companion. The unit features large windows that maximize the incredible views. The interior was immaculately clean, with a comfortable bed and efficient air conditioning. The kitchen/living area opens to a spacious porch - the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. The beverage fridge did a great job of maintaining a consistent 36-degree temperature. Jarrod & Jennie are fantastic hosts - quick to respond and embodying that quintessential good-vibes attitude you'd hope for at the beach! Blue Surf is ideal for couples, with or without pets

The Great Wave

ToniRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The fact we had to basically clean the place before leaving was not my favorite thing. We came for vacation, not to clean. It was a great location. Overall, a great week trip. We don't get to see our family often, so this was good.

Beautiful cottage a short stroll to the ocean

MichaelRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had a wonderful visit to Carolina Beach. The house was spacious, beautiful and immaculate. We strolled the few blocks to the beach daily. The owners graciously helped us locate a tire repair shop as we had a flat tire shortly before arriving. The area was inundated with 20” of rain several days before we arrived. It was shocking how quickly the businesses recovered.

The Great Escape- A Waterfront Retreat

KristenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I rented this beautiful house for our wedding weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Such a great place to host a few friends. All of the bedrooms were comfortable but the dock is where we spent most of our time. We even had a pod of dolphins come through! Clean, spacious, and loved having the kayaks and paddle boards to play on. Would definitely recommend this spot and hope to rent it again for our 1 year anniversary:)

Your guide to Wrightsville Beach

Introduction

Encompassing an island as well as its namesake beach, North Carolina’s Wrightsville Beach is one of the oldest established beach communities in the country, first documented in the 1720s. Its origins as a tourist town go back to 1889, when the area railroad company built tracks from neighboring Wilmington across the Banks Channel to transport visitors to the ocean. Bolstered by its natural beauty and yacht club, which is one of the oldest in the country, Wrightsville Beach began to draw regular vacationers, and an entertainment-driven construction boom followed. In the early 1900s, massive hotels opened with dance halls and entertainment, making the small beach town a tour stop for popular big bands. Though Wilmington’s neighboring beaches, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, are well known for watersports and recreation, Wrightsville Beach maintains its family-friendly allure, picture-perfect beach, and centuries-old history as one of the most appealing oceanfront destinations on the East Coast.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Wrightsville Beach

Wrightsville Beach has a subtropical climate characterized by mild winters, with highs in the mid-50s Fahrenheit, and hot, humid summers with highs in the lower 90s. Summers can be sticky, pushing the area’s heat index toward 100 degrees at its peak, perfect for playing in the water. The push and pull of warm Atlantic Ocean waters in relation to storm system tracks puts Wrightsville Beach at risk of tropical storms. If you’re traveling during hurricane season, which peaks in September, pay extra attention to local weather reports.


Top things to do in Wrightsville Beach

Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier

Constructed in the 1930s and nearly destroyed after a series of hurricanes in the 1990s, Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier was rebuilt in 2002 from reinforced concrete and is open 24/7 year-round. The modern pier is plenty wide for the crowds who walk it, and multiple spots accommodate the scores of anglers casting their lines on any given day — or night, as after-dark fishing is popular here.

Wrightsville Beach Park

Located in the heart of town and bordered by water in all directions, this family-friendly park attracts locals for tennis, basketball, soccer, and volleyball, and kids of all ages to its colorful playground. It’s also host to special events throughout the year, including Wrightsville Beach’s summer concert series.

The Loop

Circling the interior of the island, this 2.5-mile fitness trail runs through the heart of Wrightsville Beach in the center of town, straddling the mainland and the namesake beach. It’s especially popular with runners, walkers, and dog-walkers. Fantastic views abound.
