OceanFront 3Bedroom/2.5Bathroom Dog Friendly home!
What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

The Love Shack
Jeffrey and Laura are amazing hosts and the Love Shack exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is quiet, with beautiful surroundings. The home was very clean and comfortable. We'll definitely stay again the next time we visit NC!

Little House On The Beach
Nothing beats waking up and immediately being able to see the Atlantic Ocean, great location! The kitchen has been recently redone, which was nice and spacious. The back balcony was half roofed so it was a nice place to sit away from the sun to take in the view. It was peaceful and quiet, everyone around us was respectful of everyone else’s surroundings. It was a blessing being able to take our dog with us on this trip. She felt comfortable in the house and fell in love with the beach!

Best Location! Beachfront-Boardwalk-Pool-Balcony
The view was beautiful and Kristen was a great host. My husband had a kidney stone attack the day before we left and she was willing to work with us if we had to stay another night but he felt well enough to leave the next day as he had a doctor‘s appointment scheduled the next day. The view was spectacular!!

Sweet Retreat @20 West
Libby's place is clean, large, convenient and quiet. She is a friendly and responsive host. I'd stay here again. Thank you!

Hot tub, Beach Front, Private, Walk to Restaurants
Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

Oceanfront w/ Huge Balcony & Private Beach Access
Book it! You won’t be disappointed!

Papaya's Beach Retreat: Pool, 1.5 mi to beach!
Awesome place and location! Perfect for my husband and I’s long weekend anniversary trip. Several restaurants and bars within walking distance. The pool was under renovation during our stay, which was a bummer but we were aware of ahead of time. 10/10 recommend!

1913 Historic Downtown Empie-Possion Cottage
This house was perfect for our stay in Wilmington. It was very comfortable, clean and had all that we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend Delaney’s house.

Serendipitous Studio - Entire Place
As all other mentions in the overwhelmingly positive reviews have stressed, this was a favorite. The friendly, experienced Hosts take great pride in their property and this guesthouse. Everything adds up to an exceptional experience. Don't let the 'pet friendly' policy give you pause if you are not traveling with 4-legged friends, the property is spotlessly cleaned and maintained. The location is wonderful, away from the hustle bustle but within a short drive to the local attractions and beaches. Our only suggestions would be to add a small patio table and chair set for guests to enjoy their morning coffee in the beautiful yard while ther dogs frolic and perhaps a propane grill. We certainly would not hesitate to return or reccommend this lovely AirBnB if you are in the Wilmington area. Thank you Nate!

Coastal Retreat
We had a great stay, everything was explain and written down so we did not have to reach out for questions. Great hosts and a wonderful stay.

Private Tiny Home in the Woods!
All I can say is WOW and we will be back! Location is very convenient to UNCW/ Beach and town and so very quiet and peaceful! The beds are comfortable bathroom and shower were super. But I cannot stop thinking of the magical little fairy tale cottage! The hosts even left a lighted path and wagon for us to use to move our stuff from the car. Highly recommend and will be back!

Charming Historic Downtown Cottage
Julia’s place was awesome, tucked away off a dead end street. We had no problem walking down to all the restaurants, bars and the waterfront. The house is beautifully done inside and offered all the standard furnishings expected. The fenced yard was perfect for our dogs to roam and explore. Great morning of coffee on the front porch before we departed. Would absolutely stay here again when we come into town.

Welcome to Shangri-Log: the log cabin by the beach
Great location - walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach, but very peaceful. Great place - fenced in yard for the dog, well equipped kitchen, lots of space for people to hang out, comfortable beds. This is our second time staying and we hope to be be back.

Cozy loft with parking and private patio w/ grill
Cute and quiet place.

#3 Just a few steps from Ocean! Incredible Views!
Deborah was exceptional as a host, she helped us with check-in and happened to be on site doing minor repairs.(such is beach life) she was extremely approachable and receptive to our requests. You can also tell that she put good consideration into details of what you need in a home away from home. I would gladly come back!
Accommodations with pools in Wrightsville Beach

Top Floor- Ocean View +Beach w/Pool, and Tennis
Absolute perfection! The condo is exquisitely decorated, incredibly well-equipped, extremely comfortable, super-clean, and on one of the most exquisite sections of coastal NC! We loved every moment - from coffee on the gorgeous balcony to walks along the tranquil shoreline - which is just steps outside the door. Our family of 4 cannot wait to return to this exceptional property, and we are so very grateful to Suzanne and Orsi for being so responsive, organized, and hospitable! Highly recommend!

Star Struck- Oceanfront B/Pool/Steps from Beach!
We had a wonderful stay and cannot recommend this home enough! Excellent access to the beach and the home has everything you could need and so much more! Hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We would love to come back!

After Dune Delight
My Daughter and I had a lovely beach visit. The weather didn’t really corporate but with this back poarch it’s like being by ocean. Loved the place#5

Oceanfront Third Floor Condo w/pool (Riggings E-3)
I have to start by saying, this is by far the cleanest air bnb I’ve ever stayed at. The cleaners do an AMAZING job here. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer during our stay. Location was perfect. I’ve never stayed so close to the beach in my life - this is beachFRONT and the balcony is a perfect place to relax and watch the waves roll in. Kure beach is a quaint little residential beach town (just my style) - quiet and laid back but close enough to Carolina beach and Wilmington for entertainment. It rained for a few days so we went to a nearby aquarium and that was super nice too. The little shops and restaurants nearby are charming too. The whole town was colorful, down to earth, beautiful and I felt right at home in the condo. I feel like I’ve found a hidden jewel and hope to come back again. I wish I would’ve booked a few more nights.

Rise and Shine! Beach, pool, & amazing views!
We had an amazing stay at Harmony’s place! It was super clean, incredible views of the ocean and watching the sunsets each night. The place was beautifully decorated and up to date appliances, everything we needed was there. Comfortable beds and pillow were a plus. We loved how easy it was to walk right out to the beach. Having two young kids, it was awesome to have beach chairs, toys, boogie boards, umbrella and MORE all provided! Short walk to the pier for food at Koko Cabana and Ruby’s coffee. We hope to make Oak Island our family spot each year and will book this condo again!

Lovely Condo w/ Peek-a-boo Ocean Views & Pool
We enjoyed our stay at this property! Emily was very kind and responsive throughout our entire stay. The property was clean, check-in went smoothly, and the location is great. Highly recommend!!

Oceanfront Paradise 1BR condo in Kure Beach
This was a great choice for the extension of our stay in Kure. Right next to the pool and walkway to the beach, unbeatable view from the balcony, and one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept on in a while! Andee, the property manager, was quick to respond and very accommodating. Would absolutely stay again!

Poolside retreat close to Beaches/Dtwn/UNCW
We really enjoyed our stay here. The pool and backyard were beautiful and matched the pictures. The rental was clean and ready for us. The hosts were friendly but gave plenty of space. We also really enjoyed their friendly dog keeping us company by the pool, she’d come to say hello and then go sit in the shade by the owner’s door. There is a mall and grocery store nearby and it’s an easy drive to historic downtown and nearby parks.

Your guide to Wrightsville Beach
Introduction
Encompassing an island as well as its namesake beach, North Carolina’s Wrightsville Beach is one of the oldest established beach communities in the country, first documented in the 1720s. Its origins as a tourist town go back to 1889, when the area railroad company built tracks from neighboring Wilmington across the Banks Channel to transport visitors to the ocean. Bolstered by its natural beauty and yacht club, which is one of the oldest in the country, Wrightsville Beach began to draw regular vacationers, and an entertainment-driven construction boom followed. In the early 1900s, massive hotels opened with dance halls and entertainment, making the small beach town a tour stop for popular big bands. Though Wilmington’s neighboring beaches, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, are well known for watersports and recreation, Wrightsville Beach maintains its family-friendly allure, picture-perfect beach, and centuries-old history as one of the most appealing oceanfront destinations on the East Coast.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Wrightsville Beach
Wrightsville Beach has a subtropical climate characterized by mild winters, with highs in the mid-50s Fahrenheit, and hot, humid summers with highs in the lower 90s. Summers can be sticky, pushing the area’s heat index toward 100 degrees at its peak, perfect for playing in the water. The push and pull of warm Atlantic Ocean waters in relation to storm system tracks puts Wrightsville Beach at risk of tropical storms. If you’re traveling during hurricane season, which peaks in September, pay extra attention to local weather reports.
Top things to do in Wrightsville Beach
Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier
Constructed in the 1930s and nearly destroyed after a series of hurricanes in the 1990s, Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier was rebuilt in 2002 from reinforced concrete and is open 24/7 year-round. The modern pier is plenty wide for the crowds who walk it, and multiple spots accommodate the scores of anglers casting their lines on any given day — or night, as after-dark fishing is popular here.
Wrightsville Beach Park
Located in the heart of town and bordered by water in all directions, this family-friendly park attracts locals for tennis, basketball, soccer, and volleyball, and kids of all ages to its colorful playground. It’s also host to special events throughout the year, including Wrightsville Beach’s summer concert series.
The Loop
Circling the interior of the island, this 2.5-mile fitness trail runs through the heart of Wrightsville Beach in the center of town, straddling the mainland and the namesake beach. It’s especially popular with runners, walkers, and dog-walkers. Fantastic views abound.
