You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront 5 BR home w/ incredible views, dock, boat slips, & elevator!

Picture the scene: you wake up from a restful night’s sleep overlooking the water in a cloud of high-quality bed linen and stroll out to the end of the private dock to enjoy serene water views with your morning coffee. Then, after breakfast, you take a short stroll to a beautiful white sand beach to watch the waves crash or jump on your boat for a day of island hopping. You’ll create lasting memories with family and friends at Sea Dog Retreat.

This one-of-a-kind 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom waterfront home has everything you need to live like a local and experience the island lifestyle here on Wrightsville Beach. Perfect for large families, or multiple families, Sea Dog Retreat offers spectacular water views throughout, a private dock with three boat slips and a boat lift, plus several decks and a private low tide beach, the perfect spot to enjoy the crystal blue waters on your next waterfront getaway.

The living room includes high ceilings with plenty of natural lighting and lot of windows with incredible water views. The dining area offers seating for up to 8 and the kitchen includes everything you need to prepare meals throughout your stay. There is additional seating for 3 at the kitchen bar, so meals can be enjoyed together. The dedicated workspace is waterfront and helpful for those looking to stay connected and offers water views as well.

Five bedrooms and four full bathrooms welcome up to 10 guests with fresh linens, ample water views, and plenty of space to relax, unwind, and recharge.
We love gathering out back on the covered dock for a picnic or on the back porch in the evening time to catch an amazing sunset. Take one of the paddleboards or kayaks out to enjoy our waterways and explore the nearby islands or load up the beach cart and walk to the nearby beach access for a fun-filled day in the sand and sun. The outdoor shower is enclosed for privacy and perfect for rinsing away sand and sunscreen.

Enjoy elevator service to all levels of the house, interior and exterior. You will even enjoy views of the water from the elevator! **Elevator reliable but not guaranteed.**

It was perfect for two families and our adult kids for a wedding weekend. It was clean, the scenery was beautiful, and having the large driveway was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall the house was very nice, clean, location was great. The house needs a few extras in my opinion, extra blankets, more bathroom towels, the pans in the kitchen were awful, we were scared to cook with some of them as the Teflon was coming off. A few new upgrades and this house could be perfect.

Aquarius Birthday Trip

Absolutely stunning luxury home, property in prime location! Five outdoor patio areas on multiple levels that extend seating options at this sound-side home. The beach is literally only a 2 block walk away! Plus, it is ideally set up to be pet-friendly with a fenced yard space & gates in all the right places for their safety. It was an honor to spend time together in this home for my 65th birthday & we thank you so much!
