Vacation Serenity In A Quiet Neighborhood

Updated 1970's house, reminiscent of childhood vacations at the beach, provides a comfortable, relaxing home in a quiet south end neighborhood. Easy access makes it just a 2 minute walk to the beach and a hop and skip to view stunning sunsets over the sound. A bird sanctuary is a block away on the south tip of the island. Terns nest there during the summer. It's a great place for children to bike, scoot or skateboard on child friendly streets so between the beach, the sound, and the neighborhood, children can spend lots of time outside. Fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare fresh seafood dishes for a family meal. Open floor plan allows for ease of entertaining.
The 4 bedrooms supply 2 queen and 2 double beds with 2 full baths located between rooms. Enjoy ocean breezes while rocking in rocking chairs on the front porch, in the mornings with coffee, after a day at the beach with a beer or glass or wine, or star gazing at night. The carport entrance is covered in jasmine for delicious smells when it's blooming in June. Parking for up to 6 cars is a plus as parking on the side of the street is not allowed and guests can visit during the day without paying public parking fees. The house provides 2 TV's, wifi, dvd player, and a radio/CD player.
The utility room below supplies a washer and dryer, boogie board, skim board, sand toys and comfortable beach chairs. An outside charcoal grill makes it easy to cook while watching the sunset over the sound.
If you want to live a simple life of ease and relaxation on your vacation, this house and location is perfect.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Wrightsville Beach. You'll find features like a water park. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washer/dryer, and 2 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Splash around at the water park
  • Steps from Wrightsville Beach and 11 minutes by car from University of North Carolina at Wilmington
This vacation home offers its guests a water park. The family-friendly vacation home also features barbecue grills and a garden.

Good location
The property is nice and in a good location. This was our second year in a row staying here and we had hoped to continue staying here. Unfortunately, after taking our reservation for next year, Nancy cancelled it because her niece wanted the week we booked. While it is a year out, it is very difficult to find good property in this area of Wrightsville beach, so it really puts us in a bind now.

Perfect family beach week
Nancy's beach house had everything a family could possibly need for a fun and relaxing beach week. The kitchen was well stocked, the beach gear was organized and ready to go, and Nancy was extremely responsive when we had questions. The house is an older beach cottage, but it's very clean and well maintained. Thank you Nancy for an old-fashioned, peaceful beach week with our loved ones.

Meeting up with family beach vacation
Very nice, quiet neighbor. Walking from one side to the other….beach to intercoastal waterway just minutes. Very nice front porch. Beach stuff, chairs, wagons. Bicycles to ride in neighborhood. Walking distance to oceanic restaurant/ pier but far enough to be quite. South end of beach is beautiful especially with calmer waters for swimming

Wedding time!
Easy access to house. Well furnished well lite house. Very comfortable. Owner easy to get a hold of.... One thing sheets and towels are NOT provided. The owner does tell you that in an obscure place ( my opinion). The owner does give you a name of a company that provides the sheets and towels but they do not put the sheets on.. Very cute and cozy place!

Good house
The pictures can make it seem a little antiquated, which it is, but it's a beautiful house. It is very spacious and has a lot to offer, and the location is very good. The only complaint is that somethings were a little bit dirty, such as the comforters or the mattress. Even so, the house is great for the price.

Lightning Worlds
This was the perfect place for our two teams to call home while competing in the Lightning World Championships out of Carolina Yacht Club. Close, quiet and convenient. We enjoyed the camaraderie on the front balcony and grilling out (fresh caught fish) in the back yard, beach walks, sunrises, full moons and one spectacular thunderstorm.

Pros: House was great, beds very comfortable, water pressure/hot water was great, layout and well stocked large kitchen excellent, loved the porch and rocking chairs, great quiet street, neighbors very friendly, plenty of beach chairs and stuff, parking excellent. Overall excellent place to stay Cons: BBQ grill unusable, dirty and rusted/buried under stuff; dishes left in drain board and dishwasher, couple dead bugs in bathroom. Suggestions: 2nd refrigerator would be nice for 8 people, maybe on ground floor?

Unbeatable location
Perfect location steps from the beach. Very quiet, especially at night. It's exactly what I was looking for. It's an amazing spot and I would definitely stay here again. We were asked to bring our own linens, which wasn't my favorite thing to do, but the price was very reasonable and the location is just absolutely perfect, so it seemed fair enough.

Perfect house for family of 6
This was a great, very clean, house for my family and I. It fit the 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 children, perfectly. We had an issue of the a/c not working for a day but eventually got in touch with an owner and it came back on. We were refunded for that one night with no a/c. Overall we were happy with our stay. Lots of beach toys, chairs, in the utility closet to use. The house is on a very quiet street but a pretty street with a 5 min walk to the sound or beach. No sheets or towels provided so make sure your bring your own. I would rather use my own anyways so we had no issue!

Great location, lots of fun extras for kids.
This house really does have everything you need. We really appreciated the extras for a smaller children: a stepstool in the bathroom, a hand-held shower attachment in the kid’s bathroom and lots and lots of extra toys downstairs. We had one day that was pretty rainy and we were able to entertain our three and a half year old the carport and on the deck. He especially loved the little wheelbarrow! We hadn’t stayed on this side of the island and it was just beautiful. The beach area between the two jetties almost looks tropical, the water is smoother and there are lots of shells to find. Walkability to the beach so nice, as is the intercoastal boat ramp/lookout - each only two short blocks away! Yes, the house is outdated as far as finishings but it does have everything you need and the bedrooms are restful. I liked the bamboo blinds with white curtains! Overall, our stay was great!
