Make precious memories with your whole family and friends at Memory Lane.

The Space:
Plan your family’s next vacation in our beautiful home.

Come enjoy the fresh ocean air, the endless blue seas, wonderful dining experiences and all that this charming beach town has to offer.

Kick back, relax and enjoy our gorgeous, recently remodeled space in the heart of it all in Wrightsville Beach. Just a short walk (one block) to the beach, we are located on the ocean side of Henderson Street so you don't have to cross the street to get to the ocean! We are one block away from Johnny Mercer's pier, a short (less than 10 min/.25 mile) walk to all of WB's restaurants and bars, shops, surf shops, board rentals and bike rentals. Our 2 car garage and driveway allow for parking for 4 cars, which allows plenty of space for your family. Parking is a hot commodity in this town so you'll enjoy this amenity. Our outdoor shower is heated and a welcomed luxury after a full day in the sun. The garage has plenty of space to securely store your bikes, surfboards, kayaks and all the toys you can pack! The public Intracoastal Waterway access on the opposite end of Henderson Street is a great place to launch your kayak or paddle boards. It’s a very short walk to launch your Stand Up Paddle Boards or kayaks.

We provide all linens, beach towels, pillows, shampoo/conditioner, laundry detergent and dish soap. We also provide cleaning supplies that you are welcome to use.

We provide a kid friendly space that includes a full size hideaway bed in the master bedroom and living room, a Pack-N-Play and a changing pad for your littles. Plenty of books and board games will keep your older kids busy after their adventures on the beach. Each bedroom includes a wall mounted ROKU tv. Just bring your login info and you can watch any of the apps offered!

The town has recently implemented a cutting-edge reverse osmosis water filtration system. This state-of-the-art technology guarantees the highest quality water for the entire island. Enjoy peace of mind and pristine water as you relax and embrace beach life.

Grocery delivery services are available in Wrightsville Beach. Concierge services are also available upon request. If you're here for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, wedding celebration, etc...) and would like to arrange a special delivery (flowers, gift basket, or other surprises) to enhance your stay, let us know. We work with a local concierge service who can provide these services for an additional fee. We can create a truly unforgettable experience for you and your family!

Alternate workspaces: The living room, dining room, or patio can be a refreshing change of scenery—and allow multiple people to work at the same time.

Ergonomic support: Extra pillows and blankets for back support mean plenty of comfortable places for you to sit and work on your laptop.

Good lighting: Plenty of windows or glass doors that provide natural light and desk lamps are in each room to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Fully equipped kitchen: The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal, granite countertops, stainless appliances, coffee maker, toaster, blender, ice maker.

Coffee maker: Many guests appreciate a caffeine fix to help them get going in the mornings. We provide plenty of coffee, filters and sugar to jump start your day.

Guest Access:
You'll have full access to our entire home: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a living room, full kitchen, dining room, outdoor shower, 2 car garage and porch. We have parking for up to 4 vehicles. We also offer an outdoor shower with hot and cold water that makes rinsing off after a fun filled day at the beach a welcomed treat! You will also have full access to our two car garage to store your bikes, surf boards and beach toys.

The Neighborhood:
Bring your bikes and explore the island, grab your running/walking shoes and enjoy a stroll around the Loop, our 2.25 mile scenic walking path. Take the kids to the new, state of the art playground at the Wrightsville Beach park, where tons of local events are held including Farmers Markets in the spring, Easter Egg Hunts, Oyster Roasts and many other family friendly opportunities. Grab your tennis racquet and hit the courts! Get some fresh (straight off the fishing boat!) seafood at Mott's Channel Seafood and cook it in our fully equipped kitchen. Bring your fishing gear and fish off Johnny Mercer's pier or go surf fishing on the beach or the intercoastal waterway. Rent (or bring your own) paddle board and launch it just around the corner from our house at one of the public ICW accesses and explore our breathtaking community from the water. Drive (or bike or run or walk) to shell island where you can find some of the best shells, especially after a storm.

This is a quiet, residential community in the heart of Wrightsville Beach. We are part of a Duplex with a Homeowner's Association and we are required to abide by HOA policies. Any violations of our HOA Policies will result in fines being passed on to the guests who violate the rules. The property is one block from Johnny Mercer's pier and a 10 minute walk to Tower 7, C-Street, Robert's Grocery and all the fun and exciting things Wrightsville Beach has to offer.

Concierge services are available upon request. If you're here for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, wedding celebration, etc...) and would like to arrange a special delivery (flowers, gift basket, or other surprises) to enhance your stay, let us know. We work with a local concierge service who can provide these services for an additional fee. Breakfast foods can be in the fridge upon you arrival, a cheese board with a bottle of bubbly, etc. We can create a truly unforgettable experience for you and your family! Just give us plenty of notice and we can get you in touch with our concierge.

Great place!
We were there for a wedding in Wilmington. It was so nice to enjoy a long weekend with one day at the wedding and the rest of the beach. Erin was very accommodating and answered my questions in record time. The place was beautiful snd clean. There was just a short walk to the beach or to restaurants and shopping. I learned that Roberts pimento cheese was started just a few blocks away. You have to visit Roberts grocery! Thanks for a relaxing place to stay!

Amazing VRBO
The accommodations were wonderful, very clean, warm and welcoming. Great location, just a three minute walk to the beach. The communication with the host was exceptional, very easy to talk too, even allowed us to check in early. The check in/out instructions were very detailed and clear. Thank you for making our stay great! We definitely will stay here again, if it’s available.

Thankgiving Holiday
Memory Lane was a perfect place for our family to stay. There was the right amount of bedrooms & bathrooms. It was such a short walk to the beach. This place had very pretty beachy decor & great parking for up to 4 cars, which was nice. The only negatives were that there was only ONE washcloth & TWO handtowels for 6 people. In the hostess's defense, we could have contacted them for more, but we just didn't bother. We were just surprised that there wasn't enough already there. The other thing was the dust or dirt on the baseboards in the hall bathroom. We would DEFINITELY rent this place again!

Absolutely perfect home
My wife and I had an exceptional experience at Memory Lane. Check-in instructions were easy, communication was exceptional. We found the home to be absolutely spotlessly clean, the rooms were perfectly decorated, beds were extremely comfortable, furnishings were as beautiful as they were comfortable, the kitchen had everything that we could possibly need to prepare meals. These homeowners thought of everything. The furnishings were better than any VRBO vacation rental we have experienced before. it truly felt like a home, not just your every day beach rental. The location can’t be beat. Only a few steps from the ocean, we also enjoyed the access to the intercoastal waterway at the other end of the block. We were able to walk to restaurants and bars, and enjoyed the ample parking that was available to us at the property. The homeowners even provided beach chairs for our use. The outdoor seating area on the deck was comfortable and we enjoyed people watching in the evenings. Wrightsville Beach has so much to offer. From renting stand up paddle boards and bicycles to delicious seafood, we had the most perfect weekend. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s perfect for families, couples, and even large groups.
