Aquarium #159 - Soundfront Home on Wrightsville Beach w/ Private Dock!

Aquarium #159 is a spacious sound front home that is truly a boater’s paradise. Top location on Wrightsville Beach for a family beach and boat vacation on the quiet, peaceful South Lumina. This home offers it all and is a rare find as it features spectacular sound and ocean views from four decks and a private deep-water boat slip, dock, and gazebo on Banks Channel. There’s a calm, secluded beach at low tide on the sound side, and convenient beach access is just a 5-minute walk away. Entertainment options are endless with a ping pong table, board games, and plenty of water toys and games to play on the beach. Walk to Crystal Pier, restaurants, and coffee shops such as Oceanic and Sundays, or check out the local surf shops only .5 miles from the house.

Offering an open floor plan designed to highlight the water views, this home has a seamless flow ideal for gathering. In the living room, you will appreciate the natural light, vaulted ceilings, comfortable seating, a built-in TV, and board games. Fit for a chef, the open kitchen has a large island with bar stool seating for 8, white cabinetry, high-end appliances, a wet bar and wine fridge, and a walk-in pantry. Behind the kitchen and adjacent to the pantry is a door to access the front porch that looks out to the street and neighborhood. There are two dining tables, each seat 6. Enjoy an afternoon or evening sound-side sunset gathering on the expansive back porch that can be accessed from the living room.

Six bedrooms, all with deck access and ensuite bathrooms, invite you to relax and recharge during your vacation. There is one bedroom on the main living area level (1st floor) and provides a queen-sized bed, a TV, and deck access that looks out to the street. Ascend the stairs to the second level, where you will find three additional bedrooms: one with a queen-sized bed (sound view), one with two twin-sized beds (street facing), and one with a king-sized bed (street facing). A queen-sized pull out sofa is located on this floor as well. The third floor houses the primary master suite which has a king-sized bed, a TV, a spacious ensuite bathroom with double vanities and a walk-in shower, and a wet bar with a fridge. The master suite has a private deck looking out to the sound. The sixth and final bedroom is also located on the top floor and has two twin-sized beds and an extra-long twin-sized daybed and a TV. Ocean views are prominent from this room, and deck access is available with both sound and ocean views.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a ping pong table, comfortable couches, an Xbox game console, and a half bathroom.

This home is equipped with an elevator, an outdoor shower, a grill, beach chairs, beach games, a water mat/float, a cooler, pack-n-play, a full-sized washer and dryer and more. The private dock has a fishing cleaning station with power and water. Please note this is a shared dock with neighbors. Guests can take in both sound and ocean views from multiple decks and a rooftop crows nest. There is parking in the driveway for 2-3 vehicles depending on size.

Great house but needs new cook top.
Beautiful home with amazing views. House was very clean and well maintained. The only down side was the cook top that only had 2 burners working and the pans were terrible, every thing stuck to them. With a large family to cook for it was disappointing. A House this beautiful with such a huge kitchen should have a functioning cooktop and decent pots and pans

Amazing Views
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All the women of our family gathered at this house for a reunion. It accommodated 10 of us easily. The kitchen is huge. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Master suite had an additional room attached with two twin beds. The views off the deck and the deck on top of the house are breathtaking.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here for our son’s wedding on WB. There were 10 of us all together and everyone had a comfortable bed and plenty of privacy. The home is well maintained, beautifully decorated, in an excellent location and had everything we needed. Each room has a balcony and there are expansive panoramic views from a deck on top of the house. We loved to stay again.

Gorgeous views and great spot on the south end!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fabulous stay! Loved the location, and the house was great. The views are breathtaking, especially on the very top "widows walk" that is huge. Some areas definitely need some freshening up, but pretty much all of the bathrooms have been updated and are beautiful! Most important thing for renters to know is that the "private" dock is actually a shared dock with the house next door. It was fine, but pretty misleading especially since it is in the title. Also there was no grill, which was a huge disappointment since we like to cook our fish and/or meat outside.
