Beachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach
We stayed the weekend as a little beach getaway for our son’s 1st birthday, and couldn’t have had a better experience! The condo was clean and had beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing!

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!

Oak and Tide Guest Suite
We had a wonderful time during our stay! The accommodations were just as pictured and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch and deck. It was a quick and easy walk to the beach with our 10 month old. We hope to be back someday!

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.

Oceanfront Paradise 1BR condo in Kure Beach
Wonderful little quiet beach vacation get away! Perfect central location that still feels like your own little piece of paradise

Beachfront cottage with views from every room!
Super nice and comfortable beach cottage. Great views of the ocean. We were there on weekdays so the beach access next door was hardly used and not an issue. The only negatives we experienced were: - the ocean side porch is not covered, so no relief from the sun unless you go inside. - large bush to the west of the driveway makes visibility very difficult and unsafe to back out onto the road. Need to back into driveway (difficult with busy 2-lane road) or do a 3- point turn to get out.

2-bedroomcondo at Lumina Ave Wrightsville Beach
Jorge was super accommodating and what a great location everything was how it was described in the description we all really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again

Oceanfront w/ Huge Balcony & Private Beach Access
Book it! You won’t be disappointed!
Pet-friendly accommodations in Wrightsville Beach

Oceanfront Condo-1A-Pet Friendly! Linens Provided!
Perfect location! Just a few steps to the beach on a coded private walkway. Within easy walkable distance to the boardwalk for us & our small dog. Britts donuts has always been one of my favorite places! Condo was very clean. The king bed was really comfy. Amanda messaged after we checked in to make sure everything was going good & that we didn't have any issues with anything. I would highly recommend this condo.

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!

Low Tide at CB - 75 steps to Beach Access
A very nice place, if you want to spend a great time relaxing this is the right place, at night there is a lot of noise, but you arrive tired and relaxed from the beach that doesn't even bother you to sleep.

The Bird’s Nest- Private Attic Apartment
Clean and cozy. Super charming and just what we needed. Don’t be too tall; cozy attic type space that was perfect for my 5’4” self.

Crane on Dock Bungalow Stunning 3BR 2BA + Parking
If we could give more than 5 stars we would. It is not over exaggerated to say Paulas place was the nicest Airbnb we have stayed in over the years. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished (as if intior designed) and very comfortable to stay in. But our biggest compliment was that the house contains absolutely everything you could need. A real home from home. The kitchen was very well equipt with gorgeous glassware and even a boiling tap, and there were even towels and a beach umbrella for our beach day in the pantry! to top it off it's a 10 minute walk to downtown and 25 minutes drive to the beach!

Private Tiny Home in the Woods!
The cabin was very accommodating, clean and perfect for our dog as well! The location was perfect, as we spend most of our weekend at Wrightsville Beach. We would definitely come back!

Charming Historic Downtown Cottage
Wonderful place to stay and such a great location!! Loved the waterfront, restaraunt (highly recommend Oliveras, short walk from this sweet airbnb, and only a 15 min drive to Wrightsville beach! Very clean and calming loft! Loved the enclosed wooden gate entrance tp this sweet place! Thank you Julia!

Cozy loft with parking and private patio w/ grill
Cute and quiet place.
Accommodations with pools in Wrightsville Beach

Beach vacation condo at Ft Fisher! Riggings
A beautifully decorated condo that’s more spacious than the pictures and a quiet spot with ocean views . We enjoyed sitting on the patio for afternoon cocktails listening to the waves this week. Chad is an excellent host and we appreciated ALL the extra thoughtful touches and the local suggestions. Perfect for a couple looking to get away to relax. We would stay here again!

SeaScape-Top Floor Ocean Views & Dips in the Pool!
Great stay at Gregory's condo. Enjoyed both balconies, which had comfortable furniture and front balcony has 2 views of the ocean! Two beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided, which was nice since we flew. Pier with tiki bar, food and ice cream is a block away- really nice views too! Pool was an added bonus!

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

After Dune Delight
10/10 experience. Host was very accommodating, professional, and very personable. We enjoyed our stay and would 110% recommend to anyone!!! Will definitely be back!!

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!

Carolina Beach Cabana Boardwalk and Beach Condo
The perfect place for my dog and myself! The location is ideal, steps from the beach, within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and the Boardwalk, and a short drive to several parks. The condo was spotless and very comfortable. Sabine was a truly fantastic host and I would definitely recommend her and her property!!

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.

OCEANFRONT PARADISE WITH SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS
we loved this place, it was right on the water and only a very short walk to the beach access. the view was beautiful and we felt right at home, it was very peaceful and relaxing! we will definitely be planning another stay here in the future!

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.
