Amazing Ocean Views!

EricaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Nice, quiet trip with two kids and two pups. Not too far to walk to get to the beach and house had everything needed. The main bed was very comfortable and the house was clean when we arrived. The weather was cool so we didn’t check out the pool but it looked very pretty.

Dune Our Thing! With an amazing view!

LayRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an amazing getaway! The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy. The property was spotless upon arrival. We spent most of our time on the balcony, which offered a breathtaking ocean view. The location couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed exploring the local area, especially the Carolina Boardwalk. Also, with the beach just steps away the experience was truly unforgettable. It was the perfect escape, and we would absolutely love to stay here again!

Pinch of Peace, Dogs Welcome!

ArianaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This place was so peaceful and cozy. The house is beautiful and feels like home from the moment you walk in. Very quiet neighborhood, great fenced yard with pavers for dogs to play without the mess of mud, and great area to hose off beside the house so we were never tracking in muddy paws or sand. We visited with our three large dogs and even they felt so relaxed almost immediately. The house is spacious and has a lot of character. We loved looking at the art. The hosts are very hospitable and so kind. It is so hard to find places that are truly dog- friendly and as clean and comfortable as this one. We had a very special stay and will definitely be back.

Beach House Getaway

DaishaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Loved our stay at Tony’s place! The house is so cozy and comfortable with everything you need! Close to both beaches and lots of dining options in the area. While enjoying the charming neighborhood, we’ve crossed paths with some of the friendliest neighbors ever, making our stay even more special. We’re planning to return to Wilmington and will make Tony’s place our first choice!

Min and Glen have an awesome place, great location and not far from the beach. We love bringing our dog on trips and Min and Glen were very accommodating. Also we had to change dates and Min made it stress free. We would totally stay at the City Woes 2 Sandy Toes again.

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!

AutumnRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The space was exactly as described and Diane was super responsive and helpful. The kids loved the hot tub, there were tons of unexpected amenities (waffle maker! Cupcake liners!) which made for more breakfast and snack options. Be sure to plan for renting a car - while there is a nice restaurant next door, you’ll need it to get around. I would recommend planning a stop to the carnivorous plant garden while you’re in town!

Linens Included/Dog Friendly "Oak Island Oasis"

JeffRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place was great. Plenty of amenities, comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen had pretty much everything we needed and we cooked most meals. Neighborhood was very quiet and any get togethers in the area were done and quiet by around 9. Fenced in back yard was great for our dog and the bikes were really nice to use. Easy walk to the beach by a pedestrian bridge just one street over. Several great restaurants and grocery stores within a short drive.

Walk to the Beach, Fenced, Fire Pit

JessicaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
First time staying in OKI in the winter and with our dog. Highly recommend IOD to anyone, especially someone with dogs. Her place was close enough to walk to go eat and to the store, walk to the beach, but private enough you felt like you were away from everyone. The backyard is the perfect place to hang out and let your dogs get some energy out. We will be coming back for sure!

Beautiful cottage a short stroll to the ocean

MichaelRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a wonderful visit to Carolina Beach. The house was spacious, beautiful and immaculate. We strolled the few blocks to the beach daily. The owners graciously helped us locate a tire repair shop as we had a flat tire shortly before arriving. The area was inundated with 20” of rain several days before we arrived. It was shocking how quickly the businesses recovered.

Oceanview Condo, Pool, 2 min walk to the sand

BrianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amber’s condo is very nice with modern appliances, a fully stocked kitchen, nice bedrooms, and a great view of the ocean from the large balcony. It’s a short walk to the pier where there are two restaurants and a coffee shop. We ate at both restaurants and tried the coffee and pastries and were very happy with all of it. There was construction during the day in one of the adjacent condos and pretty noisy neighbors that moved in upstairs midway through the week but that’s obviously out of our host’s control. We lucked out with pretty good spring weather so spent a lot of peaceful time on the beach which is a short walk away. The storage locker on the ground level had everything we needed for the beach and saved us from having to pack all our beach gear. We would definitely stay here again. Big thanks to Amber!!

Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Dock, 2 Clubs

DanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Five Stars All the Way! We had the most incredible stay at Vaycash on Bald Head Island! From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a dear friend’s beautiful home. Stef has thought of everything—the home is gorgeously decorated, full of charm, and stocked with more amenities than any place we've ever stayed. This was hands-down the most above-and-beyond experience we’ve ever had with an Airbnb. Every detail was thoughtfully done—from the fully equipped kitchen (a dream to cook in!) to the peaceful, tucked-away location in the woods that gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The golf cart made exploring the island a breeze, and the kids were thrilled with the bikes and kayaks. Stef’s generosity and attention to detail made this getaway truly special—we didn’t want to leave! We can’t recommend Vaycash highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit.

The Great Escape- A Waterfront Retreat

KristenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I rented this beautiful house for our wedding weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Such a great place to host a few friends. All of the bedrooms were comfortable but the dock is where we spent most of our time. We even had a pod of dolphins come through! Clean, spacious, and loved having the kayaks and paddle boards to play on. Would definitely recommend this spot and hope to rent it again for our 1 year anniversary:)

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.
