Guests consistently say "perfect location!"

***We recently took back over from the property mgmt company so VRBO removed our reviews. We have 30 reviews on the other major rental site with an avg of 4.75 stars. Please search for Island Bungalow Wrightsville Beach to read. Here are a few:

Karen: "The location is to die for... amazing street lined with beautiful houses and friendly people and right on the sound. We walked everywhere from this location. It was fun to see other people walking their dogs, walking to restaurants, taking early morning jogs and greeting the sunrise on the beach. We picked up wonderful acai and yogurt bowls from Adapt Kitchen and Juice bar and ate them on a public gazebo looking over the sound. This is the life!"
Stephanie: "As someone who has lived at WB, location is everything. This house is right where you want to be! Loved having the screened in porch. Kristal went above and beyond to accommodate my family and pups needs and was so responsive.."
Tina: "First of all, Krystal was an amazingly responsive and accommodating host. We had all of the info we needed, complete with locals-only suggestions and personal touches to help us enjoy the beach. The bicycles, fenced yard, darling house and amazing screened porch made our stay so comfortable! The neighborhood is lovely and the neighbors are wonderful. The description is so true, you can walk to everything...and we did! We can’t wait to go back again. Thank you, Krystal!!"

If you want a quiet, laid-back, private retreat in the middle of the thriving Wrightsville Beach scene, check out this little bungalow! Truly the best of both worlds, this 2 bedroom, 1 and ½ bath cottage is located on a quiet neighborhood one-way street with mostly foot traffic BUT also in the middle of everything at Wrightsville Beach. After a grocery run, you can park your car for the remainder of your stay because “all things fun” can be reached on foot. That’s right….the beach, the channel, great restaurants, awesome coffee houses, surf shops, ice cream, supplies, and gifts are all within a 5-9 min walk. It is an outdoor enthusiast “candy store!” Bikes will get you there even faster. If you must drive, we have a WB resident parking pass for your use which allows you to park right at the beach. What a deal!

Pets? $200 pet fee. Rules: 1. One dog only at the discretion of the owner. 2. No aggressive breeds - pit bull, chow, etc... 3. No dogs that bark a lot. We like our neighbors :-). 4. If they need to be on the furniture, bring your own blankets to keep dirt/hair out of ours.

The Bungalow - Recently renovated: Discover the quaint charm of this 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath cottage with a relaxing screen porch and outdoor patio. Enjoy the breezes that blow through as you read a book, have a cocktail with a friend, or just ponder life. If you happen to visit during a month with an “R”, you must have an oyster roast on the vintage brick patio under trees. There is a cozy living/kitchen/eating area where you can prepare fresh Mahi or Grouper from Motts Seafood, enjoy a glass of wine, or snuggle up to watch a movie. We love the expansive window bar that makes us feel as if we are still outdoors. Well-stocked kitchen with blender, toaster, kettle, microwave, and everything needed to cook. The beds are comfortable. Wifi allows for streaming with Roku. The beds are super comfortable: Queen, 1 twin, and one futon. This house is not the "granite countertop experience, but it is a 1950's style laid-back throw back beach house. Just renovated to make lighter, brighter, and more comfortable. The easy living and unbeatable location are why people return to the Island Bungalow.

We provide two bicycles. You can rent SUP, kayak, surfboard, and additional bikes just a few minutes walk. 250 feet from our front door there is public access for easy entry into Bank's channel. You will certainly be able to unwind in this comfortable home.

For the Outdoor Land-lover
We sit on The Loop, a 2.5-mile scenic trail that is a well-loved treasure that offers a walking or jogging experience you won’t find anywhere else. Test your running skills or just stroll as you enjoy views of Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Banks Channel, a live oak-lined and shaded path, and beautiful salt marshes as you make your way around this awesome path. While always active but never crowded, it is sure to inspire you to move!
WB Park offers four tennis courts, basketball, volleyball, kids' play equipment, obstacle course equipment, and fields to enjoy whatever you prefer. From May-Oct, every Monday the park hosts a FARMERS MARKET Mondays 8 am - 1 pm.

Fishing: From USA Today…
“With two fishing piers and four miles of white sand beaches, the town of Wrightsville Beach is a prime destination for fishing. Wrightsville Beach overlooks the Atlantic Ocean along North Carolina's Outer Banks, and anglers can catch a variety of native and migratory saltwater game fish including summer flounder, speckled sea trout, and Spanish mackerel. Angling opportunities are available year-round.

Downtown Wilmington: Often referred to as “little Charleston” has been a great destination for great restaurants, nightlife, NC Battleship, Riverwalk, Cruises, Historical tours, art shops, Cotton Exchange, Gem studios, Horse and Carriage rides, and a free trolley. In the last couple of years, this area has become hot with growth adding Convention Center, Performing Arts Center, Marina, Riverwalk extension, public concerts, and Saturday morning farmers market. Soon there will be a new public park at the new marina. A trip here during your stay is a must….Ask about favorite restaurants.
