Located in the sought after south end of Wrightsville Beach, the bungalow, constructed in 1947, is a good representation of old Wrightsville of yesteryear. The home sits amongst handsome bespoke 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 fast walk to the lazy beaches of Banks Channel. This unit has been completely refreshed and is the ideal base camp for a memorable beach vacation.

Welcome to The Prickly Pear Cottage Upper Unit, named after the native cactus that inhabits the gorgeous barrier islands of this part of North Carolina and is comfortably visible at the beaches across the street. It is the upper level unit of a duplex bungalow, and it is steps away from public beach access '40' & '41'. In the other direction and painless walk lies the Oceanic Restaurant & Bar, Sundays Cafe/Bakery Shop, and South End Surf Shop. On many mornings and evenings, you can hear the sound of the ocean waves as you appreciate the beach breeze with a cup of coffee or a drink on the porch rockers. This unit, with the original yellow pine wood floors throughout, has been completely remodeled with a brand new kitchen and updated bathroom. The home was carefully restored in a manner to reflect the historic nature of this beach bungalow as one of the first of its kind on the south end of Wrightsville Beach Island. After a long day at the beach or on the water, there is an outdoor shower to rinse off, a calming porch to have a drink and take in the sea breeze, and a comfortable living room area and bedrooms to relax. Prices are better than most hotels on the island plus you get the luxury of having separate bedrooms and your own roomy, well appointed kitchen, living room, and outdoor wraparound porch! No need to worry about parking as there are your own parking spots in the driveway. Park your car and you may not need to use it again for the rest of your trip.

The lower unit, which has also been listed on Vacation Rental By Owner for the 3 previous years, currently hosts two longer term tenants. Reviews for that unit can be found on 'Prickly Pear across street from Beach'
