The Channel House~Water Views~Dock + Boatslip~Walk to beach!
Welcome to the Channel house! A beautiful beach home with 3 levels of personal sounds views. Experience one of our favorite locations at Wrightsville beach, tucked along a quiet residential street, just far enough off the busy thoroughfare but walkable to all of the island restaurants, shopping + beach accesses. The magic however is found on your expansive decks overlooking Banks Channel and your private deep water dock…swim, fish, swing in the hammock or bring your boat to live like a local.
The Channel House will quickly become your new favorite home away from home at Wrightsville Beach. We’re proud to welcome many returning guests year after year — a true testament to the charm, comfort, and unforgettable views this coastal retreat offers.
Step inside to find spacious, light-filled living areas that open to expansive sound views and cool coastal breezes. From sunrise coffee to golden-hour cocktails, there’s plenty of space to relax, recharge, and reconnect. Start your morning on the covered porch, watching boats drift toward Masonboro Island. Spend lazy afternoons swaying- Jimmy Buffet style in the pier hammock before a sunset swim or drinks on the pier. Skip the busy boat ramp — your stay includes a complimentary deep-water boat slip for easy access to the Intracoastal. All you’ll need are flip-flops and a swimsuit — The Channel House has everything else covered:
**Highlights** Fully equipped chef’s kitchen for effortless meal prep and dining 4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with spa-like en suite bath and soaking tub Three levels of unobstructed water views Third-floor game room with pool table, TV, queen sleeper sofa, and private bath Ample beach gear: 2 kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, beach wagon, chairs, and ground-floor ping pong Private pier and deep-water dock Off-street parking for up to 4 vehicles When you’re ready to explore, the ocean and all of Wrightsville Beach’s local favorites are just a five-minute stroll away.

We are locals to the area and we rented Channel House for the rehersal party for my sons wedding. EVERYTHING was excellent. There was limited parking at the but the Elementary school is right around the corner and within walking distant - this was not a problem at all. The accomodations are perfect and plenty of towels, bedding, blankets, & pillows. The view was a Million Dollar view. So peaceful! I would definitely rent this house again and HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a great location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The host was super helpful with questions leading up to our trip. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. And the location cannot be beat.
Beautiful View and Great neighborhood!Ric was always available if I had any questions.

Family had a blast
We had a great time! It was real clean and the bikes and kayaks were a great bonus to our stay. Highly recommend, right on water with short walk to all stores and restaurants at Wrightesville Beach.
Outstanding! The house is awesome. Very clean, perfect location with lots of amenities! Boat ramp is great! We had a great time once we all agreed on daily plans....like herding cats...
This waterfront home exceeded our expectations. Perched along the channel, the house treated us to a spectacular view. The comfortable interior provided everything we needed, and the location couldn’t have been better. If you’re looking for a relaxing Wrightsville Beach retreat, this is it.
