The Channel House~Water Views~Dock + Boatslip~Walk to beach!


Welcome to the Channel house! A beautiful beach home with 3 levels of personal sounds views. Experience one of our favorite locations at Wrightsville beach, tucked along a quiet residential street, just far enough off the busy thoroughfare but walkable to all of the island restaurants, shopping + beach accesses. The magic however is found on your expansive decks overlooking Banks Channel and your private deep water dock…swim, fish, swing in the hammock or bring your boat to live like a local.

The Channel House will quickly become your new favorite home away from home at Wrightsville Beach. We’re proud to welcome many returning guests year after year — a true testament to the charm, comfort, and unforgettable views this coastal retreat offers.

Step inside to find spacious, light-filled living areas that open to expansive sound views and cool coastal breezes. From sunrise coffee to golden-hour cocktails, there’s plenty of space to relax, recharge, and reconnect.
Start your morning on the covered porch, watching boats drift toward Masonboro Island. Spend lazy afternoons swaying- Jimmy Buffet style in the pier hammock before a sunset swim or drinks on the pier. Skip the busy boat ramp — your stay includes a complimentary deep-water boat slip for easy access to the Intracoastal.
All you’ll need are flip-flops and a swimsuit — The Channel House has everything else covered:

**Highlights**
Fully equipped chef’s kitchen for effortless meal prep and dining
4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with spa-like en suite bath and soaking tub
Three levels of unobstructed water views
Third-floor game room with pool table, TV, queen sleeper sofa, and private bath
Ample beach gear: 2 kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, beach wagon, chairs, and ground-floor ping pong
Private pier and deep-water dock
Off-street parking for up to 4 vehicles
When you’re ready to explore, the ocean and all of Wrightsville Beach’s local favorites are just a five-minute stroll away. Walk to:
Fresh tacos + margaritas at Tower 7 Cantina
Groceries and smoothies at Robert’s
Pizza at Vito’s, ice cream at Circles, and surf gear from Sweetwater Surf Shop
Coffee from The Workshop
And of course — an iconic Trolly Stop hot dog is imperative!
Whether desiring a relaxing beach getaway or a vibrant, entertaining trip with friends and family, The Channel House is your perfect Wrightsville Beach retreat.
~ We can’t wait to welcome you

Perfect Channel-Side Getaway

This waterfront home exceeded our expectations. Perched along the channel, the house treated us to a spectacular view. The comfortable interior provided everything we needed, and the location couldn’t have been better. If you’re looking for a relaxing Wrightsville Beach retreat, this is it.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. Rick is an amazing host and was attentive to every detail. The location is perfect as you can easily walk over the bridge to the beach or can quickly get off the island for other activities without dealing with backed up traffic. Loved the bikes and kayaks as well! Thanks for a great week.

We stayed five nights for our daughter’s wedding. It was a wonderful stay. The view is fantastic and the sunrises were gorgeous! We wish we had more time to relax out on the dock. The home was clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked. Ric is a great host who checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed.

A perfect vacation in Wrightsville Beach

The house was absolutely perfect and exceeded any and all expectations we had. It was VERY clean with a great location close enough to everything but situated in a beautiful, friendly and quiet neighborhood. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock the entire week. The dock and floating dock couldn't have been better for views, keeping the boat, kayaking and fishing. We ate every meal outside on the spacious porch and the kids loved playing pool, foosball, ping pong and kayaking. Ric was very responsive and proactive which made our stay even that much better. We will definitely be back!

AMAZING HOUSE, AMAZING LOCATION

Our family and extended family rented this house for my daughter's graduation from UNCW. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the location. The house was big enough for everyone to spread out and never feel crowded or on top of each other. It had everything we needed - plenty of linens, utensils, beach toys/games, etc. We loved the location, as it was in a quiet little neighborhood that was within walking distance to the beach stores, restaurants, and bars. We also enjoyed walking the loop at Wrightsville Beach. Our favorite spots were the main level deck and the top deck on the dock. We loved watching all the action on the water - early morning swimmers, paddle boarders, boats, and jet skis. The owner was super helpful and always quick to respond via text or VRBO messages. We definitely hope to be back soon. It was the perfect house for our family.
