A Wave From It All
This Airbnb was great for us! Very dog friendly, right across from beach access, a nice park across the street, and walking distance to restaurants. We plan to stay here again

Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo
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.!

Ocean Breeze, Beautiful Ocean Front Townhome
We always love staying here. The condo is so warm and cozy. Rob is a fantastic host. The views are amazing and the location perfect. We canât wait to return yet again.

Stay Salty Villa *PooL open 5/15* walk to beach
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. Itâs just one block from the public beach access, and there were plenty of fun places to explore within a mile. We couldnât have asked for a better spot for a relaxing family getaway!

Little House On The Beach
This place was perfect for my wife and our dogs! Beachfront location is amazing! Updated, beautiful & fully stocked kitchen was helpful. Host was extremely responsive, very timely and answered all our questions. We will definitely look into staying here again!

2br/1ba on Lumina Ave - Steps to everything!
It was a great stay! The place was super nice, and had everything we needed. All the appliances were also super nice and updated.

Lumina Paradise Steps to the Beach+Restaurants
Great place and great location. Very responsive.

Just Steps To The Beach
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.
Dog friendly accommodations in Wrightsville Beach

*2 Blocks to Beach, Dog friendly w/no pet fees!*
We had a wonderful stay with our fur babies. The fenced in yard was a super plus ! The house was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen was amazing to cook in all appliances were clean and updated ! Wonderful family room and clean bathrooms .

Bladen Bungalow - Dwntwn Wilmy - Dog Friendly
We really enjoyed the Bladen Bungalow. The home is comfy and clean. We all instantly felt at home. Including the dogs which is always a concern after a long drive. So happy to have found it and definitely recommend to anyone coming to Wilmington.

Beach House Getaway
Tony was a gracious host and we loved the house. Would absolutely book again in the future!

đś BOWâ˘WOWđž BEACHâ˘BUNGALOWâ˘đ đ Cozy & Dog Friendlyđś
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 K9âs.

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!
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, youâll need it to get around. I would recommend planning a stop to the carnivorous plant garden while youâre in town!

Pet Friendly in-law suite-Seas The Day
We enjoyed our stay. Great communication, easy access, location was perfect. The place was spotless but the best part was the nice fenced yard for our dogs.

Walk to the Beach, Fenced, Fire Pit
We just got back from the most amazing stay at this beach house and canât 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 needâincluding 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 cleanâperfect for relaxing. If youâre looking for an stress-free, family- and dog-friendly beach retreat, this is it!

Pet Friendly Paradise; 15 Minutes to Beach/ D-Town
We had a great experience! Plenty of room for the whole family including the dog - and the outdoor space is a huge plus. Will definitely be staying here again next time we come down to Wilmington.

Memories Made Here, Dog friendly, Downtown OKI
My family and I had the best time at Melissaâs place. Was very very clean. Perfect location. Would stay again!

Beachfront-Oak Island Memories Oceanfront
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
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
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
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 20â of rain several days before we arrived. It was shocking how quickly the businesses recovered.

Cheerful Cottage
Clean place, with easy check in. Well loved home!

Lake Waterfront Townhome short walk to beach.
Very nice place would definitely stay there again!

The Great Escape- A Waterfront Retreat
I rented this beautiful house for our wedding weekend and it couldnât 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 Carolinaâs 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 Wilmingtonâs 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 areaâs 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 youâre 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 â 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. Itâs also host to special events throughout the year, including Wrightsville Beachâs 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. Itâs especially popular with runners, walkers, and dog-walkers. Fantastic views abound.
