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!

Lovely location; tight fit
I love an old school beach house, especially one on the beach! House had some charm but for our group, it didn’t quite work. Too cold to get much use out of porch so fitting 3 families into 1 living room with 1 couch wasn’t great. Kitchen also cramped and no indoor dining space. Deck is a bit crumbly and ready to give you some splinters. Didn’t like renting through Vrbo but getting passed to a rental company and having to fill out more contracts.

Everything was fine we love this property the only problem we encountered with that there was no light over the stove and the clothes dryer did not work. We would stay again if the dryer is fixed.

Beachy cottage
The location is great and the house is large and comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone inside and out on the porch. Light and bright upstairs. Only thing missing was a grill which would have been useful since the kitchen is tired. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect location but grimy house!
The location and amount of rooms was great but the house was dingy and gross. The bathrooms were grimy and the kitchen had dirty dishes in the pantry. The coffee maker and dryer both both. The handle for the freezer popped straight off. The house needs to be updated and cleaned properly!!!
