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.

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.

Great vacation spot ...very quiet area
Great place to stay and do close to the beach. Enjoyed the house with plenty of room. Kitchen has everything you need and plenty of games and other stuff for kids. Nice to have the additional tv in one of the bedrooms. Hope to return soon!

Comfy Vaca!!
What an awesome stay. My family was visiting to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. The house was great! Really comfy, clean, and had everything we needed. Perfect location! Right at the beach, minutes from great food and shopping. Definitely a repeat stay! Owners were very nice and always responded quick to any questions. What a trip!

Very pleased
The property was in a great location on the south end, with beach access very close and less foot traffic than areas closer to the piers. The house was clean and had mostly anything you would need. The beds were not the most comfortable, but that is our only complaint. Will definitely stay there again!

WONDERFUL
We felt so at home! The house is comfortable and complete with everything we needed to make our getaway celebration spectacular. Lovely neighborhood to take a walk, close to many activities and short stroll to the beach. Our mini -family reunion was a success and everyone wants to come back next year, all the way from California - so worth it!

Great beach experience!
Nice four bedroom setup with two jack and Jill bathrooms between each pair. Easy walk to the beach at the northern end of Wrightsville Beach. Kite surfers and wind surfers use this part of the beach so plenty of interesting action. Everything in the house is in perfect working condition!

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!

Perfect Beach Home
We had family from all over the U.S. gathering for a wedding. This house became the hub for all. It is not lavish, but very comfortable and family friendly. Because of the open kitchen, dining, living area you could be a part of the group no matter what you were doing. The house is very well equipped and even had a variety of toys for the toddler. It's proximity to the beach was great, just a short walk and you are there! We had fun watching the sunrise, playing in the surf and walking on the sand. To top it all off the homeowner was great to work with which made our stay that much more enjoyable. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer!

Great Vacation
We really enjoyed the home, but was disappointed to find that we needed to provide our own sheets and towels. This wasn’t made apparent in the initial online listing. We also were disappointed to find a roll and a half of toilet paper for 8 adults for 5 days. Had to go out and grab our own. Other than that, the house is a great location in relation to the island restaurants and beach access!

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!

Short Walk to Beach & Inland Waterway
Located on quiet side street, very short walk to inland waterway and beach (the less crowded end). House itself was a little run down but as advertised. Dishwasher and refrigerator looked relatively new/updated. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of beach chairs/toys and indoor toys, games, books provided. Comfortable mattress (on the firm side, which husband and I appreciated) Cleaning crew, maintenance was a bit lacking - when we arrived there was still sand and hair in both showers, a broken glass in the cupboard and screen in one of bedrooms was half-torn out. Also first VRBO property I stayed at where bath towels not provided, but made do with our beach towels. Neighboring houses very close so may not be the place to go if you are looking for privacy. Price was reasonable though and good time was had by all.

Perfect house for almost anyone, and a great location!!!
This house is a perfect place for a relaxed vacation to the beach! It is cozy and comfortable, has two bathrooms, and can sleep up to 8-9 people. The outdoor shower is really nice and the landscaping and plants along the walkway made me feel like I was really somewhere tropical. Whoever owns this place must really have a green thumb! It has a nice open living area great for cooking and simultaneously socializing. While we stayed at the house, we ate most of our meals on the front porch. The jasmine lining the balcony smelled so good we just couldn't resist. Wrightsville beach has some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen, especially the south end where this house is located. It's close enough to the beach bars and restaurants to bike, but the beaches on the south end are cleaner and less crowded as well as great for surfing and kite surfing. One of our favorite things to do in the evenings was walk 30 seconds to the sound side of the island and watch the beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend this rental and would rent it again the next time I plan to take a trip abroad!

Perfect for my family
We have two young daughters and this house was perfect for our family. It's close to the beach and easily accessible. It has a great kitchen and entertaining area. It's on a safe street that my daughters could play on without worry (they're 2 and 1.) For the price and location, it can't be beat for my family of 4. We had no issues with pests and felt safe and secure and satisfied with the house and the owner. The communication from her was excellent at all times and we would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this property for families with young children. Plenty of parking, space to store beach equipment, bikes, strollers, kids beach paraphernalia. Almost every day I took my 2 yr old on a bike ride for donuts and coffee. It is a perfect distance from the "downtown" Wrightsville area for that. Speaking of distance, beach access 40 is a two block walk and that beach is not crowded at all. All in all, this is a location and house we would definitely stay in again and that's saying a lot for someone who has to take a 6 hour drive and just wants to relax when it's all said and done. We felt relaxed and comfortable in this house and look forward to being that way again there in the future.
