Vacation Serenity In A Quiet Neighborhood

Updated 1970's house, reminiscent of childhood vacations at the beach, provides a comfortable, relaxing home in a quiet south end neighborhood. Easy access makes it just a 2 minute walk to the beach and a hop and skip to view stunning sunsets over the sound. A bird sanctuary is a block away on the south tip of the island. Terns nest there during the summer. It's a great place for children to bike, scoot or skateboard on child friendly streets so between the beach, the sound, and the neighborhood, children can spend lots of time outside. Fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare fresh seafood dishes for a family meal. Open floor plan allows for ease of entertaining.
The 4 bedrooms supply 2 queen and 2 double beds with 2 full baths located between rooms. Enjoy ocean breezes while rocking in rocking chairs on the front porch, in the mornings with coffee, after a day at the beach with a beer or glass or wine, or star gazing at night. The carport entrance is covered in jasmine for delicious smells when it's blooming in June. Parking for up to 6 cars is a plus as parking on the side of the street is not allowed and guests can visit during the day without paying public parking fees. The house provides 2 TV's, wifi, dvd player, and a radio/CD player.
The utility room below supplies a washer and dryer, boogie board, skim board, sand toys and comfortable beach chairs. An outside charcoal grill makes it easy to cook while watching the sunset over the sound.
If you want to live a simple life of ease and relaxation on your vacation, this house and location is perfect.

Good location

The property is nice and in a good location. This was our second year in a row staying here and we had hoped to continue staying here. Unfortunately, after taking our reservation for next year, Nancy cancelled it because her niece wanted the week we booked. While it is a year out, it is very difficult to find good property in this area of Wrightsville beach, so it really puts us in a bind now.

Perfect family beach week

Nancy's beach house had everything a family could possibly need for a fun and relaxing beach week. The kitchen was well stocked, the beach gear was organized and ready to go, and Nancy was extremely responsive when we had questions. The house is an older beach cottage, but it's very clean and well maintained. Thank you Nancy for an old-fashioned, peaceful beach week with our loved ones.

Meeting up with family beach vacation

Very nice, quiet neighbor. Walking from one side to the other….beach to intercoastal waterway just minutes. Very nice front porch. Beach stuff, chairs, wagons. Bicycles to ride in neighborhood. Walking distance to oceanic restaurant/ pier but far enough to be quite. South end of beach is beautiful especially with calmer waters for swimming

Wedding time!

Easy access to house. Well furnished well lite house. Very comfortable. Owner easy to get a hold of.... One thing sheets and towels are NOT provided. The owner does tell you that in an obscure place ( my opinion). The owner does give you a name of a company that provides the sheets and towels but they do not put the sheets on.. Very cute and cozy place!

Good house

The pictures can make it seem a little antiquated, which it is, but it's a beautiful house. It is very spacious and has a lot to offer, and the location is very good. The only complaint is that somethings were a little bit dirty, such as the comforters or the mattress. Even so, the house is great for the price.

Lightning Worlds

This was the perfect place for our two teams to call home while competing in the Lightning World Championships out of Carolina Yacht Club. Close, quiet and convenient. We enjoyed the camaraderie on the front balcony and grilling out (fresh caught fish) in the back yard, beach walks, sunrises, full moons and one spectacular thunderstorm.

Overall excellent place to stay Cons: BBQ grill unusable, dirty and rusted/buried under stuff; dishes left in drain board and dishwasher, couple dead bugs in bathroom.

Unbeatable location

Perfect location steps from the beach. Very quiet, especially at night. It's exactly what I was looking for. It's an amazing spot and I would definitely stay here again. We were asked to bring our own linens, which wasn't my favorite thing to do, but the price was very reasonable and the location is just absolutely perfect, so it seemed fair enough.
