This was an amazing location! We stayed here for a pharmacy conference that was at the Holiday Inn and had a wonderful experience! We were within walking distance to pretty much everything in WB. Only a short paved walk to the beach. The condo was beautiful and just what we needed for a couples getaway. I plan on booking again when we return next year!

Thank you so much, Vicki! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the deck—it’s one of our favorite spots too for soaking in the coastal air. I'm glad the location and comfort made your stay so enjoyable. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a great time staying in Wrightsville Beach to visit nearby family. The quick/short trek to the beach and back was very nice as parking is hard to find/fills fast in the area. Great little getaway.

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay. It’s great to know you appreciated how close the unit is to the ocean—just a short walk away! We hope to welcome you back to Wrightsville Beach soon.
This condo is a perfect place for four people! I stayed here with my three nieces for a girl's beach trip! We were just steps away from the beach and close to alot of restaurants! The decor and the cleaniness made us feel right at home. There was everything there that we needed during our stay. We really enjoyed the coffee bar and being able to have our breakfast out on the balcony and see the ocean! The parking was perfect right underneath the condo, which was covered. I highly recommend this property and we look forward to coming back again soon for another stay!

Your kind words are a great motivation for our team. Whenever your travels bring you back to our area, we'd love to host you once more.
Location is perfect. Just one block from the beach. I stayed alone and a friend visited during the day to join me at the beach. Parking was perfect. Lots of steps to get to third floor but that helped me get my steps in for the day. Owner communication was awesome!!! Looking forward to staying again.

Thank you, Terria! I'm so glad you enjoyed the location and had everything you needed for a relaxing beach stay. Great job getting those steps in, too! We'd love to have you back anytime.
My three kids ( 8, 13 and 17 )and I were looking into getting our first fun at the beach in 2025 and this place was just right: close to the beach, easy parking and safe. Easy and close access to restaurants and a Catholic Church. I was pleased with the cleanness of the place. It might get to busy and noise during high summer but it was a perfect place for May stay . Happy Mom .

It sounds like you made the most of your time—relaxing, exploring, and enjoying everything nearby. May is truly a lovely time to visit before the summer buzz kicks in. I’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re ready for your next beach getaway!
Very comfortable, decorated nicely, included almost everything we needed for three night stay.
Great location in the first beach block, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. Easy check-in, and great communication. Would stay again.
