Back in the day merges with the modern life here.

If you're looking for lush accommodations, high rise views and 60" TV screens pass on this one. BUT...if you're looking for the Wrightsville Beach LIFE as it was intended, this this your spot! The stuff in the kitchen works, you DO NOT HAVE TO LUG STUFF UP three flights of stairs, if you want food and drink it's a super easy walk, if you dig clear-clean water to swim in, and if you enjoy surrounding yourself with real NC history, book this cottage. The beds are numerous and comfortable. The wrap around porch entices reading, board games, discussion, and just sitting there to enjoy what life is really meant to be on my beloved Wrightsville Beach. Have a Surfer Dog (add slaw) at Trolly Stop, have Pina Colda at The Oceanic, take home some chicken salad from Robert's Grocery...it needs to be on the NC historic record, and grab something that was receltly swiming at King Keptune's. There's also late night fun at Red Dog's ALL WITHIN WALIKING DISTANCE.

Classic Wrightsville Beach cottage - Oceanfront

This historic cottage is in the best location on the island within easy walking distance to shops/restaurants. It feels more private being oceanfront but views are partly obstructed by berm. Full ocean views are from upstairs bedrooms with very comfortable beds. The heat/ac worked well and water pressure good. My complaint is that there are not enough places to sit - recommend a larger dining table on porch and updating living room seating and furniture. The artwork was impressive and we enjoyed being there very much. Would book again in future.

Location, location, location!

If we had been any closer to the water, our feet would have been wet. Fantastic location, not just for its location right on the beach, but also for its convenience to all of the nightlife, shops, restaurants, and attractions in Wrightsville Beach. The house is older than the newer ones around it, but it did NOT lack for amenities, cleanliness, or comfort. Will definitely stay here again!
