If you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or other special occasion and would like to arrange a custom delivery such as flowers, a gift basket, or another surprise, let us know. We partner with a local concierge team who can assist for an additional fee. We’re happy to help create a truly unforgettable coastal vacation experience for you and your family.
The town has recently implemented a cutting-edge reverse osmosis water filtration system. This state-of-the-art technology ensures exceptionally clean, high-quality water for the entire island. Enjoy peace of mind and pristine drinking water throughout your stay.

Alternate workspaces: The living room or patio offers refreshing settings for remote work and allows multiple guests to work comfortably at the same time.
Ergonomic support: Extra pillows and blankets provide additional comfort and support, giving you multiple cozy spots to use your laptop.
Good lighting: Large windows and sliding doors bring in abundant natural light, and each room includes a desk lamp to brighten your workspace during evening hours.
Fully equipped kitchen: The kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals, featuring granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a coffee maker, toaster, and blender.
Coffee maker: Guests love having a morning pick-me-up, so we provide ample coffee, filters, and sugar to jump-start your day at the beach.

The Neighborhood: Located in Summer Place condominiums, you will enjoy beautiful views and a central location to all that Wrightsville Beach has to offer.

We are happy to answer any of your questions before and during your visit.
Getting Around: The unit includes two free parking spaces in the bay provided. Bring your bikes and cruise Wrightsville Beach, or rent one from one of our local rental agencies. Because we are located in the heart of it all, you can walk to enjoy all of our local bars, restaurants, and attractions. Only a 30-second walk to the sea, you can be out of bed and on the sand in time to enjoy your cup of coffee before it gets cold.
Other Things to Note: Less than one block to the beach, we are located on the ocean side of Salisbury Street. You don’t have to cross the street to get to the ocean! We are on the same block as Johnny Mercer’s Pier, and just a few doors down from our local watering holes. Parking is a hot commodity in this town, so you will enjoy two parking spaces in our bay beneath our condo. The outdoor shower is a welcomed luxury after a full day in the sun. There is public Intracoastal Waterway access within walking distance, so kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and bike riding are great options if you are looking for activities to enjoy during your visit. We provide all linens, beach towels, pillows, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, dish soap, and all cleaning and paper supplies for your use during your visit.

Had a great stay at the condo! We loved sitting on the balcony and relaxing. Location was perfect and the host was very responsive. We hope to stay here again when visiting the area.
We enjoyed our visit to Wrightsville and staying in this cozy condo. Decorations were beautiful, condo was clean, convenient location, and beds were comfortable!
This property was so clean, comfortable and convenient. Erin was very responsive and was a great host! We really hope to stay here again in the future.
This was an amazing location! We stayed here for a pharmacy conference that was at the Holiday Inn and had a wonderful experience! We were within walking distance to pretty much everything in WB. Only a short paved walk to the beach. The condo was beautiful and just what we needed for a couples getaway. I plan on booking again when we return next year!
We had a great time staying in Wrightsville Beach to visit nearby family. The quick/short trek to the beach and back was very nice as parking is hard to find/fills fast in the area. Great little getaway.
This beautiful property is very close to the beach and has a great deck that we sat on every evening and morning. Walkable distance to a number of restaurants. Very comfortable. Highly recommend.
This condo is a perfect place for four people! I stayed here with my three nieces for a girl's beach trip! We were just steps away from the beach and close to alot of restaurants! The decor and the cleaniness made us feel right at home. There was everything there that we needed during our stay. We really enjoyed the coffee bar and being able to have our breakfast out on the balcony and see the ocean! The parking was perfect right underneath the condo, which was covered. I highly recommend this property and we look forward to coming back again soon for another stay!
Location is perfect. Just one block from the beach. I stayed alone and a friend visited during the day to join me at the beach. Parking was perfect. Lots of steps to get to third floor but that helped me get my steps in for the day. Owner communication was awesome!!! Looking forward to staying again.
My three kids ( 8, 13 and 17 )and I were looking into getting our first fun at the beach in 2025 and this place was just right: close to the beach, easy parking and safe. Easy and close access to restaurants and a Catholic Church. I was pleased with the cleanness of the place. It might get to busy and noise during high summer but it was a perfect place for May stay . Happy Mom .
Very comfortable, decorated nicely, included almost everything we needed for three night stay.
Great location in the first beach block, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. Easy check-in, and great communication. Would stay again.
I was impressed with how beautiful and well-kept the apartment was, really excellent facilities, very good location, I went for an activity in the area, and this property met my expectations excellently.
My two daughters and I just loved staying here! Being close to the beach was so convenient and enjoyable. We really enjoyed using the balcony in morning and night, you can see the ocean and hear the waves. Loved that we had a reserved parking spot. The furnishings were very nice! We will definitely come back!
My daughters and I had a great weekend visiting their sister at UNCW. Perfect location. Walkable to the pier and restaurants. Easy parking. Just reminder this is a walk up for anyone.
The host is very attentive. We will be back.
This property was close to my daughter’s home that she rented for two years while attending UNCW. Was so convenient to her and restaurants on the island. We walked to a lot of places.
This property is a stone throw from the beach and was great for our family of four. It was very clean, had the amenities we needed for our stay, had a great deck that you could sit and see the ocean from and is in a great location. The beach and Johnnie Mercer's pier were a very short walk away and both were a favorite of our entire family. There are local restaurants, coffee spots and shops within walking distance, which made them very accessible. Erin was a great host, as she was extremely responsive and eager to help with our needs. I would definitely stay in this unit again if I came back to Wrightsville Beach.
Very cute property. Just what we needed. Nice amenities like 2 beach chairs, beach towels, linens. Comfy beds. Quiet property. Loved deck looking at ocean. Quick walk to beach. Perfect proximity to town. Loved walking the loop. Door codes were a plus instead of keys. Would return.
The location is perfect - walk easily to the beach and several shops. The condo had all the supplies needed - coffee, laundry detergent, beach chairs, etc. While the property itself is a bit dated it’s still nice.
The biggest complaint we had is the bed. The mattress sinks horribly in the center and the foam topper does nothing to help the situation other than increasing body heat. The bed itself is very old and squeaky. Basically we had two nights of minimal sleep because the bed was so uncomfortable.
If there is a new bed and mattress we would absolutely return to this spot!
Do not miss your chance to stay at this property! My husband and I went for a weekend getaway. This rental is EXACTLY as pictured even down to the cute little coffee bar. Everything was spotless and beautiful. Attention to detail made you feel comfortable and like you were at home instantly. Breakfast on the balcony allowed the perfect view of the ocean, location to the beach is phenomenal, and our morning run out the door could lead to the beach or the bridge over the channel. Communication was the best I have ever experienced, not only was the information in the rental helpful with restaurants, etc. listed, the emails regarding entry and also the reminder about steps and expectation during checkout were precise. I wouldn't change a thing about our weekend and I have been bragging about this rental to everyone so hopefully lots of other folks will get the opportunity to experience this place. Thank you so much for every single ounce of your energy you put into to make this a special sweet little spot!
This was our first foray into VRBO and Wrightsville Beach, so we had no idea what to expect. We had one of our best vacations. The condo was perfect! It may be small, but it's exactly what we need as a family of three and would be comfortable for four. The place was super clean and comfortable. The proximity to the pier was excellent for some AM and PM fishing without having to find parking. It's also not too far of a walk to the Surf Shop, Wings, and Ice Cream Parlors (and a few bars too, if that's your interest - there is also a bar next door, but it was not loud). It was a short drive to the causeway to catch the fishing boats and not too far from downtown Wilmington's Riverwalk and the NC Battleship. The check-in/out was easier than I have ever experienced. LOVED having a security code - so we did not have to worry about losing a key :-).
