The Prickly Pear Cottage in Wrightsville Beach

Located in the sought after south end of Wrightsville Beach, the cottage, built in 1947, is a good representation of old Wrightsville of yesteryear. The house sits amongst beautiful custom homes yet has a very laid back vibe on the south end just across the street from the beach. It is steps away from public beach access ‘41’ and a quick walk to the lazy beaches of Banks Channel. On many mornings and evenings, you can hear the sound of the ocean waves as you enjoy the beach breeze with a cup of coffee or a cocktail on the private side patio.

This unit is a ground floor unit of a duplex cottage and has been completely renovated with an open floor plan that contains an updated kitchen and dining area with all the basic cooking needs. After a long day at the beach or on the water, there is an outdoor shower, an updated bathroom with shower, and a cozy living room area or outdoor patio to unwind. Rates are better than any hotel on the island plus you get the luxury of having separate bedrooms, your own spacious well appointed kitchen, a living room and outdoor patio space! No need to worry about parking either as there is your own parking spot in the driveway. Park your car and perhaps leave it off for the rest of your trip.

Perfect, cozy coottage!

We loved this cottage! It is just like the photos - super cute and cozy, so clean and very quiet too! It was just the right size for our family of four. Great location on the south end of the island. Dave and Tricia were such gracious hosts - they were there to help us when needed but not in the way at all. We want to come back for sure!
