About this property

The Channel House~Water Views~Dock + Boatslip~Walk to beach!


Welcome to the Channel house! A beautiful beach home with 3 levels of personal sounds views. Experience one of our favorite locations at Wrightsville beach, tucked along a quiet residential street, just far enough off the busy thoroughfare but walkable to all of the island restaurants, shopping + beach accesses. The magic however is found on your expansive decks overlooking Banks Channel and your private deep water dock…swim, fish, swing in the hammock or bring your boat to live like a local.

The Channel House will quickly become your new favorite home away from home at Wrightsville Beach. We’re proud to welcome many returning guests year after year — a true testament to the charm, comfort, and unforgettable views this coastal retreat offers.

Step inside to find spacious, light-filled living areas that open to expansive sound views and cool coastal breezes. From sunrise coffee to golden-hour cocktails, there’s plenty of space to relax, recharge, and reconnect.
Start your morning on the covered porch, watching boats drift toward Masonboro Island. Spend lazy afternoons swaying- Jimmy Buffet style in the pier hammock before a sunset swim or drinks on the pier. Skip the busy boat ramp — your stay includes a complimentary deep-water boat slip for easy access to the Intracoastal.
All you’ll need are flip-flops and a swimsuit — The Channel House has everything else covered:

**Highlights**
Fully equipped chef’s kitchen for effortless meal prep and dining
4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with spa-like en suite bath and soaking tub
Three levels of unobstructed water views
Third-floor game room with pool table, TV, queen sleeper sofa, and private bath
Ample beach gear: 2 kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, beach wagon, chairs, and ground-floor ping pong
Private pier and deep-water dock
Off-street parking for up to 4 vehicles
When you’re ready to explore, the ocean and all of Wrightsville Beach’s local favorites are just a five-minute stroll away. Walk to:
Fresh tacos + margaritas at Tower 7 Cantina
Groceries and smoothies at Robert’s
Pizza at Vito’s, ice cream at Circles, and surf gear from Sweetwater Surf Shop
Coffee from The Workshop
And of course — an iconic Trolly Stop hot dog is imperative!
Whether desiring a relaxing beach getaway or a vibrant, entertaining trip with friends and family, The Channel House is your perfect Wrightsville Beach retreat.
~ We can’t wait to welcome you

Perfect Channel-Side Getaway

This waterfront home exceeded our expectations. Perched along the channel, the house treated us to a spectacular view. The comfortable interior provided everything we needed, and the location couldn’t have been better. If you’re looking for a relaxing Wrightsville Beach retreat, this is it.

308 North Channel was a great property with gorgeous views. The check in was very easy and everyone soon got settled in their routines. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses and a big Sub zero! We ate in about half the time which was fun! Wrightsville is an active place and we were walking a bunch because it pretty and parking can be expensive after 9:00 am. The dock was a great evening spot and we rented a boat one day. There were plenty of bikes and chairs, but some chairs were getting old. In the kitchen, you might need to bring some dish towels as they only had one. The beds were comfortable and there was a great room on the third floor that had a pool table and great views. There were great places to gather together and also to spread out. We took our family of 2 girls and the grandkids. Great time last week!!

A perfect vacation in Wrightsville Beach

The house was absolutely perfect and exceeded any and all expectations we had. It was VERY clean with a great location close enough to everything but situated in a beautiful, friendly and quiet neighborhood. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock the entire week. The dock and floating dock couldn't have been better for views, keeping the boat, kayaking and fishing. We ate every meal outside on the spacious porch and the kids loved playing pool, foosball, ping pong and kayaking. Ric was very responsive and proactive which made our stay even that much better. We will definitely be back!
