We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House and would absolutely recommend it to others. The location was perfect...peaceful, scenic, and incredibly convenient for our plans. The views were truly stunning and made the whole experience feel special from start to finish.The home itself was thoughtfully set up and designed for a long weekend stay. We were in town for a wedding, and a small event we hosted at the house went perfectly! It was exactly what we had hoped for and couldn’t have turned out better.There were just a couple of minor issues worth noting. The bunk bed didn’t feel stable enough to comfortably accommodate a guest, and we were surprised to find that there was no toilet paper provided. These were small inconveniences in an otherwise fantastic stay. Overall, this is a beautiful property in an amazing location, and we’d happily stay here again and fully recommend to others!!

Beautiful home & location

Our family gathered to celebrate our daughter's college graduation and staying at a wonderful home on Wrightsville beach truly made it special time. The home is beautiful, well maintained and in a great location. The owners were responsive to a few minor issues we had. My family would not hesitate to visit this home again.

ideal house and location

A truly lovely house with gorgeous views. Everything we could think of was provided and more. A perfect place for a family from 2-65 and older. it had an elevator and cart so no schlepping groceries up 3 flights of stairs! Beds were comfy. We loved that there were 3 full-king beds as we had couples. loved the location overlooking the marsh- way more interesting than the ocean we thought and location on island is nice, not so busy at that end. Also nice to be able to walk around the marsh at this end. Host super responsive as well.

Amazing house and host!!

Our stay are Barbara’s house was amazing. The house itself was gorgeous and was perfect for our stay with friends. We ran into a couple of issues during our stay, but Barbara was extremely responsive and had the issues resolved immediately! I highly recommend this home!!One thing to note when renting this house is that the 5th bedroom with twin bunks is listed as off of the main bedroom. We missed that part when considering this house. The 5th bedroom is part of the main bedroom and doesn’t allow privacy for those staying in the main bedroom. This is good to note if looking for a true 5 bedroom house for 5 adult couples.

Sunsets & privacy

The location of this beautiful home is very unique as it has expansive privacy due to the salt marshes/nature preserve behind it. This creates an amazing backdrop for beautiful photography and sunsets. In addition, it is just steps to the beach including the most remote part on the north end of the island where there is abundant bird watching, fishing, and a great place to walk and swim. Add in a home equipped with every essential from the kitchen to the master to 2 studies, multiple decks, pool and ping pong tables, gym, bikes, kayaks, SUPs, beach equipment, towels, elevator...and you can't go wrong. Definitely recommend.

Week at the Beach

The property was amazing. This home is not a normal rental property. There was so much extra provided for the enjoyment of the guest. The pool table, paddle board, weight room all the extra beach supplies and more. This Home did not disappoint. I personally enjoyed the porches sunrise in the morning and sunset in the afternoon. We did have a small problem with the ice maker on the freezer, but when I notified the owner I was given the number of repair person, he was such a nice person to deal with and had the problem fixed that day so our vacation would not be affected by a broken ice maker . Another +++ a washer & dryer on first level for beach towels and swim suits, then a laundry room washer & dryer on the 2nd floor where the bedrooms and bathrooms are. The only negative there is an ant problem which we were able to keep ahead of for the most part, Oh, and a second refrigerator would have been nice for the # of people for a week. Wrightsville Beach is my favorite beach and this home made my Week!!!!
