Exquisite 5 Bedroom Home w Elevator and Sound View
This is not a “Paradox” – it’s the real thing! Have a fantastic vacation in this stunning, sound side 5-bedroom 4.5-bathroom single family home on a quiet residential street located on the desirable south end of Wrightsville Beach. Enjoy sound views from the covered front porch with comfortable rockers and the sea breeze brushes over you. The ocean and sound accesses are just a short walk from your front door! This magnificent family home leaves nothing to be desired and is truly a hidden gem.
The foyer warmly greets you with gorgeous shiplap walls, hardwood floors, and costal pops of color. No detail has been omitted in this property! The first level of this spectacular home features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a cozy sleeping nook equipped with a twin bed that is perfect for a child. There is a large deck that provides a great space to sit and relax. Just around the corner is a guest room with a flat screen tv, queen-sized bed, shared access to the spacious deck, and a jack and jill bathroom that connects to the adjoining guest room. The adjoining guest bedroom has two twin sized beds and a flat screen TV. A secondary primary suite complete with a private bathroom makes comfortable accommodations for any traveler. The fourth guest room on this living level is furnished with a cozy queen bed, flat screen tv, and has access to a private deck – a wonderful escape!
Upstairs, the main living level features a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings. The exquisite Chef's kitchen offers high-end stainless-steel appliances, a double refrigerator, Wolf gas range and an ice maker. The family chef will be blown away! This kitchen is sure to make preparing family meals a pleasure. Enjoy home cooked meals gathered around the large kitchen table or evenings relaxing on the plush sectional watching movies with your family. There is a half bathroom for added convenience when hosting guests. A workstation overlooks the Intracoastal waterway, and a telescope is available for those curious about sea life and boaters beyond. Catch beautiful sunsets from the covered porch as the sunlight dances on the crystal blue water. A luxurious primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings, a plush king-sized bed, a walk-in shower, and large garden tub.
Outdoor dining will be a pleasure on the ground level screened in porch, complete with large table and chairs. For your enjoyment there is a surround sound system on this level, outdoor sofas, large sofa swing, and a tiki bar. The "big green egg" grill and sink are just outside the porch and the nearby enclosed outdoor shower makes rinsing that pesky sand away easy as pie. This is a very popular property! Don’t miss out on a Paradoxical Vacation!

The house accommodated our family very nicely. Having multiple floors allowed us time together and yet the space for some quiet time. We were able to enjoy the top floor for meals and time together. The elevator was a huge convenience to get deliveries up to the top floor. Having a washer and dryer on both floors was very convenient and allowed each family to stay on top of their families laundry. Its proximity to the beach was just a short walk away and we were able to walk the beach and enjoy sunrise and sunset. It was the perfect family get together location to celebrate my son’s graduation from UNCW.
Beautiful home located in a quiet portion of the island. Perfect spot to unwind and watch the boats.

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. The check in/ checkout was easy since it’s keyless. The checkout procedures were all written down and not too labor intense as some other locations may require now. The location itself was a good spot and close to the beach. The house was very clean and it’s a large house so it was great for our family of three generations. I loved that big kitchen and the large double side fridge!! Overall a great location to book.

We loved having all of our family able to stay in the home together. Close walk to the beach & beautiful view of the inlet. The only downside is having to pay to rent linens, towels, bring your own toilet paper, trash bags, etc.
This stay was great! The house was perfect for our family. We were getting together before part of the family moved out west. The location was great. We were able to go to the beach every day. The beach was a short walk away. The kitchen was nice. Some of the pots and pans were a little tired but there were plenty of the them. The great room was perfect for hanging out together. The upstairs porch was perfect for sunsets over the marsh. Everyone had their own room for down time. The house was not toddler proof so we had to keep a close eye on him. He was old enough to stay away from the stairs so that made it easier. Would definitely stay again!

The home was beautiful, one frustration... the king bedroom on the middle floor... that door handle desperately needs to be replaced! The door locks every time you close the door! Our bags were in the room and the door locked and we had to figure out a way to get back inside. This is a simple fix and should be done immediately. Other than that, the house was beautiful and comfortable. Excellent for big families or gatherings! The view is very nice!!

Very good value for the accommodations. Clean. Close to beach and pier. We had a great family vacation with 4 generations staying. The had an iron but no ironing board. That was a disappointment. There also were no instructions for the TV. There were 4 remotes, This was confusing, even for our tech savvy guests. Took a full reboot of the cable box and nearly an hour to get it working. I had called for assistance but nobody called or came by. 😔Overall, very satisfied and would stay with them again.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful time at Paradox in WB. the location was wonderful, the house was great. Plenty of room and we had everything we needed. The house had a great view (to bad new house is being built across the street) and enjoyed watching the sunset from the large porch. As with all things there were 2 things that that caused minor issues. First I was disappointed that the linens would not be on the beds when we arrived, after a long day of travel it just added to the move in time . We have stayed at many different locations and rental companies and beds were all ready made. Also the tv in the living room had 5 remotes with no idea which one to use. We did contact Bryant and they called at dinner time on Monday but by that time we had got tv to work. By no means did this ruin our week or make our trip less enjoyable, just added some frustration. Overall the week was fun, enjoyable and I would 100% return to this property again. Thank you for a wonderful week!
There were some things we really loved about this property, as well as several things we didn't. Many of our favorite features were in the kitchen. It was fantastic having two full size fridges, plus a separate ice machine that never ran low in spite of our constant use all week long. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved that the inside of all the drawers and cabinets are labeled, making it easy for us to find what we needed and helpful to return it to it's correct spot.
We really enjoyed how the kitchen flowed right into the dining area and the dining area flowed right into the living area so our entire family felt connected and together on the main floor. The big kitchen table was awesome for puzzles, game nights and meals.
Overall the house was clean, especially the interior surfaces, but it felt due for a really good deep clean and refresh of some of the linens/patio cushions. A few stains on the master carpet, some grunge on the back of the doors near the hinges, torn bedskirts, moldy HVAC vents, that sort of thing. Occasionally we'd pull out a pan that felt sticky or oily and needed to be cleaned before being used. The exterior is in desperate need of a good pressure washing. But still, overall the interior was clean.
The location also has some pros/cons. Very easy walks to public access for the sound and the beach and the street is very quiet. But, this property is surrounded by other homes on all sides, so the views are obscured. Many of the windows look straight into other windows. In fact, the porches on the back of the home primarily provide views of the neighbor's home and pool. If views are your thing, this house probably isn't for you.
The home across the street is currently under construction. Our family enjoyed sitting out on the main front porch and watching the construction progress each day. Noise from the site was minimal and not an issue. Once that house is completed it will hide what is probably the best view, with little of the intracoastal waterway still visible. However, the sky/sunset views from that porch and the large living room windows will likely still be spectacular.
There were plenty of beach chairs in the garage during our stay, as well as lots of sand toys (shovels, buckets, etc.) and several bikes. The bikes have seen better days and could use some TLC (rusted chains, etc), but two were still sufficient for long bike rides and very much enjoyed.
Not perfect, but still a great place to stay.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the house. Thank you!

Paradox was perfect for our family's stay. The open living area accommodated four generations for meals and informal gatherings. The kitchen is well stocked with all necessary utensils, serving dishes, etc. Bathrooms were spotless.We did have a problem with the elevator upon arrival. A technician was immediately dispatched and fixed the issue.One note for improvement: the return vents throughout the house were very dirty--triggered a lot of sneezing.

Reviewer Comments:
Paradox is a perfect location with a wonderful great room and kitchen. Balconies galore and we were so happy with all of the bathrooms. Since all but one of the bedrooms were on the lower level the earlier to bed were never disturbed by the night owls. There were some ant issues but the realtor responded right away to my email. The furniture was a bit dated. Sofa had stains, and I had concerns the blankets are not washed between guest. The kitchen floor...not the cleanest. The biggest issue with the home was the clutter. There is just too much stuff. The amount of things in the kitchen and living space is overwhelming and disorderly. There had to be 100 knives. Finding and returning things to a proper spot is near impossible. (and I am not overly organized!) There are also family photos around which is odd when in a rental. The Jimmy Buffet theme in the downstairs bedroom is kind of creepy..just sayin. But over all we had a great stay, lots of fun. Some tweaks here and there would go a long way!

The Paradox is in a great location with easy access to the beach. The house needs some updating but overall has a really nice layout and fit plenty of people comfortably. If you are not ant-friendly, this house is not for you. I would also recommend bringing your own beach chairs, as a few were broken or just old and rusty.

Nice Property. A few minor problems. Top floor bedroom shower drain backs up. Right refrigerator freezer door won't open and when turning on the hot water in the upstairs bathroom sink on the right, water leaks out from the knob.
We loved this property. You can tell the owner is thoughtful. It is a beautiful house and so well stocked. The kitchen had everything. I highly recommend staying in this house.
