This house is an amazing location.. SO close to the beach! Our family has a wonderful time. A couple things I would love to see done… updated kitchen accessories like toaster oven and blender (both very old), comfortable seating for at least six in the family room would be nice because we had to pull furniture out of bedrooms to all watch a movie with six people.

Wrightsville Beach Ocean Front!
Love this Ocean Front Cottage at Wrightsville Beach. Three BR, three BA and next to Lumina Resort to walk over for dinner and drinks or just a short ride (or even walk) from several restaurants and bars. The Cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, highly recommend it!

What a gem!
All four of us (two humans and two canines) thoroughly enjoyed our getaway at the Blue Moon Cottage. The location is ideal - just a block off Lumina Avenue, on a private road with zero street noise - all you can hear is the relaxing sound of the surf. The house is tastefully furnished and very, very comfortable - we appreciated the quality linens, the spa-like showers with high-end shower heads and lovely bath products, and the well-equipped kitchen. The management team did a great job, too. We had a question upon arrival that was answered very promptly (thanks, Knox!), and the team checked on us the next day to be sure that we were settled in (thanks, Owen!). They were very sweet about our dogs, which we appreciated. We were sad to leave, but we look forward to returning again next year - I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Wrightsville.
