A Wave From It All
My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at A Wave From it All, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights, and were able to enjoy the beach and the activities with no problem. The only downside was that the pool was unfortunately closed for our time here, and we had originally chose this place based on the fact that there was also a pool, however that isn’t something Jenna could control of course as they were doing construction on it; we did not know until we arrived. However, the restaurants and the boardwalk are all very close, as well as the beach access being right across from our house. We walked the pond most nights as well which was nice. Overall, we had a great experience here and will be staying again next year.

Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo
You will not regret staying here. There is so much to say about how amazing it is. You will not get a better location, on Carolina Beach. The easy access to the beach, proximity to restaurants and the boardwalk makes this place ideal for everyone. We only moved our car for trips to Publix and going to Southport on the ferry. The condo was fantastic - very clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, extremely well equipped (better than any other place I've rented). We spent hours reading in the white chairs by the window, and the rooftop deck is great for sunbathing or star gazing. Not only would I recommend this place to anyone, we're already planning another visit in the fall. Again, you will NOT regret staying here.

Ocean Breeze, Beautiful Ocean Front Townhome
Rob's place is the perfect retreat for rest and relaxation! The view from the master bedroom's upstairs deck is wonderful. Leave the door open at night and be lulled to sleep with the calming sounds of waves. The sunrises are spectacular! The beach is not crowded and there is plenty of space for all your beach gear, tents, chairs, etc. Rob's Ocean Breeze (ocean front) townhouse is spacious with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The place is very clean and decorated in a coastal theme. He provides all the amenities you need to enjoy your beach getaway. The private beach access is literally steps away from the back deck. It's about 50 yards from the townhouse to the ocean. The Kure Beach Fishing Pier is just a 1/2 mile walk from Rob's place. Once you've arrived at the pier, you can browse through the pier's gift shop before heading out to the town of Kure Beach where you can eat at one of the town's local restaurants. The vibe at Kure Beach is fun and festive!

Stay Salty Villa *Pool is OPEN* 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. 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!

The Sweet Spot II
Wendy and Jeff’s place was great for my parents and I! Most importantly, my dog loved the stay. It was clean & very close to the beach!

2br/1ba on Lumina Ave - Steps to everything!
Dear Michelle, Thank you for creating such a wonderful home for our enjoyment at Wrightsville Beach! Your condo is truly a well appointed home with everything we could imagine ever needing for a fun, carefree stay. Having visited WB for over twenty-five years, it truly felt like "coming home". The location is absolutely perfect, situated between the beach, Robert's Market, shopping, the nightlife spots, and of course, the yummy ice cream stand! The on site laundry and private parking is a real plus! We especially loved the front outdoor porch – it was ideal for dining, people watching, or simply catching a few naps. And those beds! They truly are like sleeping on feathery clouds. There were so many extras that kept us focused on enjoying the beach and local sites.

One Beach’in Cottage, walk to the beach!
5 stars – Incredible stay! This was hands down one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The space was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described (if not better!). The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and thoughtful throughout my stay. Every detail—from check-in to local recommendations—was perfect. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb stay!

Just Steps To The Beach
Our stay was great. Very flexible and responsive as our trip was very last minute. Within walking distance of the beach as advertised and the pool was lovely! ❤️
Dog friendly accommodations in Wrightsville Beach

*2 Blocks to Beach, Dog friendly w/no pet fees!*
Beautiful home in a great location! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to the beach. The private beach access and parking is a huge plus. The house was extremely clean, especially for a pet friendly property, and had everything we needed for our stay. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our pups. Would definitely stay again!

Bladen Bungalow - Dwntwn Wilmy - Dog Friendly
We had an amazing stay! Great place for our pups to play and hangout and so close to downtown. Very responsive and quick to reply, the house had everything we needed! Reminded us of home! Would recommend it anytime!

Beach House Getaway
Tony is a great host! He is very accommodating and his home was exactly as described. It’s located in a safe neighborhood, close to downtown Wilmington and the beach. We recommend this place!

🐶 BOW•WOW🐾 BEACH•BUNGALOW™🏖 🏠Cozy & Dog Friendly🐶
Loved the Bow Wow Beach Bungalow. The location was an easy walk to the beach and the house and yard were very dog friendly. Household supplies were generous. Connie and Marty were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be returning!

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!
This was a very clean, comfortable and attractive place to stay. The location was very convenient to all the wonderful things Wilmington has to offer. The owners were very helpful with check in and provided a lovely place.

Family fun house near attractions
From the moment we walked through the door we felt at home. The location was exactly what we wanted, equal distance between Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach, short drive to all our favorite Wilmington spots, yet tucked away in a lovely quiet spot. The home was clean, comfortable, creative, and fun! All the amenities and extras were fantastic, and the kitchen was so well stocked that we skipped the restaurants, went to Seaview, and cooked up delicious fresh seafood for ourselves! By far our best Wilmington trip, Renato and Anne really have created a special place (Pinot Noir and the goats were an extra special bonus), and we're so grateful.

Pet Friendly in-law suite-Seas The Day
James' place was great for a weekend trip for the two of us with our pup. The fenced in private backyard is huge, which was the best part. Seas the Day is a tad small for our liking; but it was clean, easy to access, private and the hosts were very accommodating and provided very detailed instructions to where we didn't have any issue at all. Highly recommend this place for a stay with your dogs!

Pet Friendly Paradise; 15 Minutes to Beach/ D-Town
This home is adorable; inside and out! Our stay included our family of 6 along with our daughter’s golden retriever. We had plenty of space; the bedrooms (and all the rooms) are a generous size and nicely appointed. The house is well stocked with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. The backyard space is perfect for our “outdoor” family; plenty of chairs and benches and room for the dog to run around. The home is located in a beautiful and private neighborhood. it felt very safe and had a great family vibe. We were here to celebrate our daughter’s graduation and found the location to be very convenient to UNCW, restaurants and grocery stores. HIGHLY recommend! The owner is responsive, friendly and helpful …. just gotta add …. GO ARMY; beat Navy!!!!
Accommodations with pools in Wrightsville Beach

Spacious Home-Saltwater Pool and Hottub-King Bed
This home MADE our trip... it literally became our vacation! We traveled to Carolina Beach for a summer beach vacay, but after one day in the sand, we decided to turn our trip into a STAYcation and spend all our time in the backyard oasis. The pool was one of the best I've ever seen and we loved the seating in the deep end to watch the kids play. The hot tub was a fan favorite and we enjoyed it daily. The kitchen has everything we could have hoped for and more, including basic essentials and pantry staples. The breakfast nook was wonderful for family meals. The furniture was comfortable (we couch napped several times) and everything was supremely clean. As much as we enjoyed the home, Rebecca and Mike's hospitality as host were second to none! Their communication was clear and timely. They proactively reached out to help with check in & out, were responsive to requests and offered suggestions to make our stay perfect. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Shake it Off
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Erin’s Home for Labor Day weekend. We were there to celebrate my birthday as well as time as a family. The home was well prepared for our stay and the necessities needed were all available. It’s such a beautiful home and having access to a pool on the premises was an added plus. The homeowners also provided us a list with information to any questions we may have needed answered which was a nice touch. I recommend anyone interested in renting a home to spend with family or friends, to consider a stay here. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you again to Erin for making us feel welcome at your home. 💛

Poolside in the Pines
My family and I had an amazing fun relaxing trip at Rob and Julie's place. Their house is open, clean and just immaculate. They provided everything we needed. Rob was extremely friendly and very prompt. The backyard was my favorite part. They have a private pool, hotub, a grill and a basketball hoop. If you want to go for a walk, just take a stoll through their safe charming neighborhood. The beach is pretty much around the corner with delicious local eateries nearby. Every restaurant we went to was delicious. This has been our favorite airbnb by far! Thank y'all so much! We would love to come back 😀

Lovely Condo w/ Peek-a-boo Ocean Views & Pool
We enjoyed our stay at this property! Emily was very kind and responsive throughout our entire stay. The property was clean, check-in went smoothly, and the location is great. Highly recommend!!

CoastalCastle~Pool~Big~Family
We had a wonderful weekend stay with family at this beautiful home. We loved spending time at the beach and then coming home relaxing by the pool. Having pool towels provided was a great bonus! Alex and Lexi were very responsive and reassuring when we reached out about a few cleaning issues we noticed. Overall, it was a great experience — highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing weekend getaway with a pool!

5 o’clock Always
Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay at Heidi’s house. We had plenty of space, the house was just as described, and we loved the pool. There were cute restaurants close by, and we walked and drove to the beach. It was so helpful having the wagon, beach chairs and umbrellas to use. We will definitely be back to Heidi’s!

Making Waves-Scenic Getaway- Heated Pool & Hot Tub
We had a great time at Jessica’s place. It is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean. The golf cart was fantastic to get around and to the beach. Would definitely go again!

Perfect Alignment Oceanfront - Elevator - Perfect
Jim’s place was the perfect house for us for our weekend trip. The pool and the beach access were unbeatable. The space was comfortable for all 11 of us and we had no issues what so ever during our trip. Jim was great to message with, very friendly and professional, I’d highly recommend his home to anyone.

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.
