About this property

Top Floor Suite of classic 1940's Beach Cottage

This charming classic 1940's beach cottage is just steps from the beach, shops & local dining! A comfortable, cozy "at home" feeling with warm earthy tones, wood floors and cedar paneling accent this top floor suite's 3 bedrooms, one bath, separate living room, kitchen, and dining area. Feel like you are up in an aerie and enjoy sea breezes on the front porch in rocking chairs with and view of the ocean a half-block away. This single floor suite accommodates smaller groups of up to six adults but it can be combined with the main floor- "Captain's Quarters" below, as a whole house rental for larger family gatherings, via a central spiral stairway. Go to this link to see calendar for the whole house; http://www.vrbo.com/icalendar/d0dcf1ddc9124f9db688fd506b97e9bd.ics
The door to this stairway will remain locked if rented individually. "Captain's Quarters" is named for the nautical feel evoked by the rope-wrapped central spiral stair. Please see our separate listing on VRBO-2314292. Each floor is 1100 square feet. The porch is 200square feet. Originally built in 1920 this property has been renovated several times but still retains the warm feel of a Classic cottage.

Excellent Stay

We really enjoyed our stay on the top floor of this 1940s beach cottage. It was clean and the location was excellent with a short walk to the beach. The porch is amazing with a view of the ocean in the distance. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice that beach chairs were provided as well as other beach equipment (paddle ball, wagon, boogie boards etc...) The owner was very kind and responsive.

Spring break

House was great! Deck was awesome! Location is great. Third bedroom/pullout sofa was very dated and uncomfortable, but my boys didn’t care. Also could’ve used a dishwasher. Other than that we would definitely go again.

Really enjoyed staying here. Came into town for a beach weekend with 2 other couples. The quick walk to the beach and everything else that town has to offer made for the perfect location. Barbara was very accommodating and made check in/out a breeze. 10/10. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
Artist and entrepreneur, I have been residing in Chapel Hill for the past 40 years. Owner of Barbara McFadyen Jewelry, Inc., I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and beekeeper!
I have lived in Wilmington for over half a dozen years and have enjoyed the family feel of Wrightsville beach since the mid-'70s.

Why they chose this property

Ideally located a short 1/2 block from the beach, and midway from Johnny Mercer's pier and the heart of downtown Wrightsville beach on a quiet street with family-owned, year-round resident properties. This property has a breezy porch with an eagle's view of the ocean and a "secret garden" in a fenced-in backyard.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Beach, Town, Shops, and local dining. Just steps to the beach and one short block walk to the sound where you can see beautiful sunsets. If you're a fisherman, Johnny Mercer's pier is just 5 blocks away! If you like a high aerie view, homey feel but updated convieneces~ Eagles Nest is for you!
