About this property

Top Floor Suite of classic 1940's Beach Cottage

This charming classic 1940's beach cottage is just steps from the beach, shops & local dining! A comfortable, cozy "at home" feeling with warm earthy tones, wood floors and cedar paneling accent this top floor suite's 3 bedrooms, one bath, separate living room, kitchen, and dining area. Feel like you are up in an aerie and enjoy sea breezes on the front porch in rocking chairs with and view of the ocean a half-block away. This single floor suite accommodates smaller groups of up to six adults but it can be combined with the main floor- "Captain's Quarters" below, as a whole house rental for larger family gatherings, via a central spiral stairway. Go to this link to see calendar for the whole house; http://www.vrbo.com/icalendar/d0dcf1ddc9124f9db688fd506b97e9bd.ics
The door to this stairway will remain locked if rented individually. "Captain's Quarters" is named for the nautical feel evoked by the rope-wrapped central spiral stair. Please see our separate listing on VRBO-2314292. Each floor is 1100 square feet. The porch is 200square feet. Originally built in 1920 this property has been renovated several times but still retains the warm feel of a Classic cottage.

Excellent Stay

We really enjoyed our stay on the top floor of this 1940s beach cottage. It was clean and the location was excellent with a short walk to the beach. The porch is amazing with a view of the ocean in the distance. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice that beach chairs were provided as well as other beach equipment (paddle ball, wagon, boogie boards etc...) The owner was very kind and responsive.

This is a nice and clean place with a great location. There is a view from the porch. The kitchen is very small, but it’s priced accordingly.

Eagle’s Nest at the Pink House

Our stay at the Pink House (upstairs) was just what our family needed. Close proximity to the beach, N Lumina Ave and downtown Wilmington made for an excellent location! This is definitely a 1940s cottage experience and fit our needs perfectly. Ryan and Kelly (hosts) checked in with us promptly and although we didn’t need anything while we were there, we knew they would have responded promptly if needed. Thank you also to Barbara who made the booking process exceptionally easy, which included working with us for a slightly earlier check in. Great experience and we will book the Eagle’s Nest in the future!

Great location and easy stay!

Perfect location for an easy stroll to the beach or to grab coffee and a bite to eat. Clean, plenty of towels, and space was great for two couples and a baby. Loved sitting on the porch every morning with the ocean in sight! Thank you!

4th of July Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation on Wrightsville Beach. The Pink House was perfect for this family vacation and the location is great. The beach chairs and wagon made heading to the beach comfortable. We will definitely look to book this spot in the future. Unfortunately the grill was not usable for finishing the ribs in the 4th. Other than that the Eagles Nest was comfortable and we enjoyed watching fireworks on the porch.

Perfect Getaway

The Pink House was a perfect getaway. It was Extremely clean. It’s a very short walk to the beach. The beach wasn’t crowded like it was in front of condos. Sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch with a cool breeze blowing was a great way to start and end the day.

Perfect for a family weekend at the beach

This house was absolutely perfect for a family weekend! The amenities were top notch and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to be able to prep meals at home and avoid the Labor Day crowds. We will definitely keep this house on our list for a repeat visit. Barbara and Ryan could not have been nicer to work with! Each time I reached out with a question, I had a text back in minutes that had everything I needed.

Eagle’s Nest

We rented both floors for our family stay. 2nd floor did not have the same kitchen area as 1st floor which was fine since we had access to both. No dishwasher upstairs, microwave was on top of fridge, and was difficult to access. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Location was perfect, we walked to beach, restaurants and shops. We had access to beach chairs, umbrellas, and room to store our surfboards during our stay. Great communication with our host, Barbara. We will stay at the Pink House again!

Great place that is really well stocked.

This was a great rental for our family of 5 who ver Memorial Day. Very well stocked with chairs and boogie boards. They also had umbrellas and some other stuff down below. We wished we hadn’t jammed our chairs in the car as there was no need just bring your Shibumi from home. Kitchen was super well stocked too. The only thing that was missing was a dishwasher but we just bought some paper plates and cups to cut down on dishes. Really great location with easy walk downtown or to Mercers pier. Fishing and sound access at end of short street a block away. Great porch and views.

Perfect

Perfect location, very short walk out onto the beach, walking distance to restaurants and bars, pleasant porch sitting at night, all amenities were present, and we had beautiful sand, ocean and sky. Having the beach cart/wagon to pull beach gear was extremely helpful. My only feedback for change would be to upgrade the sleeper sofa. It is uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was perfect with towels and sheets provided. Also, we had very responsive communication with the property manager. He was always a text away if we needed him. Thank you, Ryan.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
Artist and entrepreneur, I have been residing in Chapel Hill for the past 40 years. Owner of Barbara McFadyen Jewelry, Inc., I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and beekeeper!
I have lived in Wilmington for over half a dozen years and have enjoyed the family feel of Wrightsville beach since the mid-'70s.

Why they chose this property

Ideally located a short 1/2 block from the beach, and midway from Johnny Mercer's pier and the heart of downtown Wrightsville beach on a quiet street with family-owned, year-round resident properties. This property has a breezy porch with an eagle's view of the ocean and a "secret garden" in a fenced-in backyard.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Beach, Town, Shops, and local dining. Just steps to the beach and one short block walk to the sound where you can see beautiful sunsets. If you're a fisherman, Johnny Mercer's pier is just 5 blocks away! If you like a high aerie view, homey feel but updated convieneces~ Eagles Nest is for you!
