Imagine ending your day with a beautiful sunset over the Intracoastal Waterway, the gentle sway of boats in the distance, and a warm ocean breeze filling the air at your own "Little Beach" replete with Adirondack chairs to help you relax and wind down.

This top-floor sound-front townhouse on gorgeous Banks Channel offers unparalleled water vistas, direct access to boating adventures, and a prime location just a short walk from the beach, Oceanic Restaurant, Crystal Pier, a striking coffee shop, and a local surf shop.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll be captivated by the broad wall-to-wall windows that flood the living area with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the spectacular waterway. Whether you’re watching boats drift by from the comfortable living room or calming on the cavernous deck, you’ll have a front-row seat to all the beauty and excitement of Wrightsville Beach. The inviting couch doubles as a queen sleeper, providing additional space for guests, while a conveniently located half bath ensures privacy and comfort.

And for a sweet summer treat, an ice cream maker is supplied to create delicious homemade desserts after a sun-filled day.

The primary bedroom is a private getaway, featuring a plush king bed and an en suite bathroom for added convenience. Down the hall, two elegantly furnished queen bedrooms offer a cozy and restful ambiance, while the fourth bedroom with two twin beds is ideal for younger family members. A shared full bathroom in the hallway also homes the washer and dryer—an essential perk for extended stays.

For those who adore the water, this home is really heaven. The shared dock, located just across Waynick Boulevard, provides the ideal spot to soak in the sunset or launch your next boating adventure. With a dedicated boat slip accommodating vessels up to 22 feet, you can bring your boat, pack your gear, and discover Wrightsville Beach from a whole new perspective.

Whether you’re here for days filled with boating, beachcombing, riding one of our cruiser bicycles, or simply unwinding on the deck with a drink in hand, “Bresnahan Upper Level” offers the ultimate waterfront getaway.

Cape Fear area rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Cape Fear area area. To find the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best vacation rental in Wrightsville Beach:

• Start by having your group choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Boat Friendly Townhouse on Sound with Dock has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
