Photos and Description of the Wrightsville Beach vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8-9)

Charming family cottage built by owners’ grandfather in 1959. The McGowan Cottage’s most spectacular feature is the wraparound porch - the perfect place to start and end your day. Choose a rocking chair to enjoy your morning coffee. As the day passes, boating creates an entirely different scene before your reward – brilliant sunsets over Banks Channel.

Ocean side beach is only a two-minute walk away over the dunes. During the day, if the ocean side seems a little crowded, you can always enjoy your own private beach on the sound.

Don’t forget the boat! The pier offers two boat slips and still provides ample opportunity to enjoy sound side activities. Fishing from the pier has always been a lucky spot. Enjoy your own fresh catch of the day - anything from flounder to croaker – and, most evenings, you will glimpse the Great Blue Heron who has also found the pier’s fishing to be among the best.

Cottage offers room for 8-9 to spread out in 4 bedrooms, over 1700 square feet. The eat-in kitchen is a wonderful place for family gatherings. The house is child friendly, but please, no pets. This is the cottage the owners have been coming to all their lives and we hope you will spend some time there as well. Stepping into the McGowan Cottage is like returning to a simpler, slower, more peaceful time. It’s everything the beach should be.

Must be 25 or older to rent home. Reservations made under false pretenses will be subject to cancellation/eviction with no refund given.

Keywords: cottage, charming, great views, perfect for families

We had a lovely girls weekend. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us. The weather was cold so we couldn't enjoy the porch, but we still had a great time!

Perfect Getaway

The cottage was a wonderful place to get away from the busy city life! The location to the beach and the Intercoastal waterway was perfect! Also a quick ride from downtown Wilmington and the Riverwalk. The bedrooms were spacious and the living room was absolutely perfect for a large group to sit around, chat and enjoy each others company. There was a lot of available parking and a few restaurants were even within walking distance. I definitely would recommend this place!!

A nice place for a family with children. The listing, however, doesn't mention that to access the dock, one must cross a busy street, so be aware if that's important. Easy access to beach, Wilmington and all attractions nearby.

WOW Meet

Came to Wrightsville beach for a swim meet. Rented this place unseen. It was perfect. We had 3 families, 8 people, and it was a lovely place to stay. Plenty of room, very close to beach and the private pier to the sound was awesome. Caught a bunch of fish after the meet and was able to enjoy time at the beach and on the porch while not at the swim meet. Will definately try to rent the place for the meet next year. Thanks again for having such a great place that was convenient to everything. Only bad thing that happened was that something big stole my new rod from your pier. Hope to catch whatever stole it next year!
