Sobre esta propriedade

Traditional sound front cottage w historic charm!

  • "Parsley" is a cherished historic sound-front cottage where guests return year after year to experience the timeless charm of Wrightsville Beach. With breathtaking sound views, spectacular sunsets, and a delightful wraparound porch lined with rocking chairs, this coastal retreat is perfect for relaxation. Just across the street, children can splash in the gentle waters of a private beach that emerges at low tide, while adults enjoy the serenity of the lush garden by the shore. A short walk across South Lumina provides easy access to the ocean, ensuring the best of both worlds.

    This beloved cottage seamlessly blends vintage character with modern comforts. The main level features a cozy yet functional kitchen, an inviting living and dining area, and a charming bedroom with a twin bed. Multiple sets of French doors and windows allow the fresh ocean breeze to sweep through the home, just like in the old days. The expansive shaded porch is the heart of the cottage—perfect for unwinding in a rocking chair while enjoying the coastal air. A unique feature of this home is the full bathroom located on the porch, adding a rustic and relaxing touch to your stay.

    Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for family and friends. The first guest room offers a full and twin bed, while the two remaining bedrooms each feature two twin beds and their own private sinks—an authentic nod to the home’s history. A shared half bathroom with a charming clawfoot tub adds to the vintage appeal.

    Though the cottage’s cross breeze keeps it wonderfully comfortable, modern amenities like central heat and air, as well as ceiling fans throughout, ensure year-round comfort. However, the home is winterized and unavailable for rent from December through April.

    Step back in time and experience Wrightsville Beach the way it was meant to be—peaceful, picturesque, and full of nostalgia. Don't miss your chance to stay in this truly special coastal getaway!

Vintage Wrightsville Vacation

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: My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay the old fashioned way in Parsley Cottage. It was exactly the vacation we needed. The cottage is in a great location on the waterway within close proximity to the public beach access and so one can walk to the shops and restaurants. We loved the vintage feel including the porch bathroom off the porch. I hope everything at Parsley stays exactly as it is!

Annual Beach Week

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: My friends and I rent the Parsley house for a week every year and it's the perfect place to spend a beach week. The house is comfortable and has everything we need. We love the fact that it's a classic Wrightsville Beach beach cottage and is well suited for a leisurely stay. The beach on the sound side is perfect for hanging out and for keeping our boat moored. We'll keep renting this cottage every year for sure!

Very beachy, need AC

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: Very beachy, old school home. Well appointed in terms of dishes, cups, etc.; I was worried that the outdoor shower would be an issue, but it ended up being fine. The porch is amazing! If you are ok spending most of your time outdoors and don’t want to be inside at all (which is the intent at the beach!), you will enjoy this home.. it was a bit stuffy downstairs with no AC in July.

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: Property exactly as described. The location is tops - close to everything. The biggest pleasant surprise is the private beach area. We wound up spending more time there than we did at the ocean. The pictures do not do it justice.

It was everything.

went in for a quiet collective experience, as I was turning 30, and came out feeling more at peace and loved than I knew was possible. Just a couple close friends and me, but the place can happily sleep more. It was quiet and a thankful spot. Alot of the artwork was images of what this place had been before the realty business saw its beauty in location. Just behind us was the ocean, but we spent most the time on our own private beach just outside the front door. When i say it was transformative, I mean it. I dont think I'll ever rent a different house on WB and nor will I let my friends!! I've been in the area nearly 10years now and the oasis of this place is unmatched. Be prepared for amazing sunsets, a private feel in a bustling beach town, and for true character in the house. So much love. Thank you to the owners.

I love that it's so close to everything and you can walk to the beach or to the shops and restaurants.

I loved the porch. If I were to add anything it would be a table and chairs on the porch so you could eat out there and enjoy the view. The children loved spotting rabbits in the bushes! All appliances wereed well. The kitchen is well equipped.

Great...for anytime BUT summer

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Great, quaint beach cottage. The description was very clear that there was air conditioning in the bedrooms but DID NOT specify there was NO air in the living areas. We went the week of July 4th and we melted all week. Also no ceiling fans on the porch and not close enough for an ocean breeze. If you plan to be out of the house and only sleep here, it's great...nice cool air in the bedrooms only. But do not plan to come in the summer. We were given 2 fans, but they blew HOT air and you would need some kind of commercial grade fan to get any relief from the heat. We enjoyed docking across the street and spent as much time as we could away from the house during the day.

Really Neat House - rustic but we enjoyed it

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home, loved it for our guys paddling/surf trip to Wilmington. Laying on the porch was amazing. Very historic and charming home with prime location.It could be a bit more clean (dust bunnies under the beds, etc). But superficially it was fine. Trip was in April so temps were perfect. Not sure how this house would be come July and August with just window units. I probably would not take a family trip with grandparents or babies here. But perfect for us. No cable or internet even thought it was to be provided. We were not offered compensation for lost amenities. That was a bit disappointing - more of a Bryant Real Estate issue over the actual home. But it's nice to see these old historic homes with a story around the island, and not just new construction mansions.

Great Cottage

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: Cottage is vintage, old school WB! Wrap around porch is the main draw! Sleeping perfectly comfortable with bedroom AC units. Overall as advertised! Two suggestions - 1 - we didn't use the oven once but there was a constant smell of gas in the kitchen and into hallway. That's a concern that should be addressed in the name of safety. 2 - owner doesn't want bikes on the porch but it rained every night and leaving them outside not the solution. No other roofed area to store them and everybody wants a beach cruiser at the beach.

Don't expect Bryant to follow up...

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented the Parsley for my Sister, Brother-in-law, Mother, Girlfriend, Myself, and our dog for a weekend in Wrightsville beach as we were attending the wedding of a close friend. Upon arriving, we noticed a overwhelmingly pungent musty smell throughout the entire house, and found out that this house DOES NOT HAVE A SHOWER FACILITY INSIDE. I immediately called the Bryant office to notify them, and they're response was "the photos on the website were clear on the amenities". The outdoor shower door was broken, the old wooden slats on the shower floor had exposed nails popping out, and the shower floor felt like you would fall through at any moment. Housekeeping arrived, confirmed that they were shocked by the overwhelming musty smell and sprayed air freshener around. This was AFTER we had opened up every window that wasn't painted or swollen shut and turned on every fan in the house for 2 hours. Maintenance stopped by and repaired the door to the outside "shower" and pounded in the nails in the shower floor... He said that there was nothing he could do about the safety of the floor and if I was going to shower in there, to make sure that I stood on the support beam in the middle and not just on the unsupported floor. (mind you I am 6'1" and about 200 lbs... I'm not "petite" but I shouldn't have to worry about falling through a shower floor naked)Admittedly, the maintenance guy, and the housekeeping couple were more than pleasant... Although both were shocked that the house met the expectations of the realty company. When I called the office at the realty company, I was assured that I would be able to voice my concerns to the owner or a manager... no one returned any phone calls... no concessions were offered. If I were you, I would stay away from the Parsley house, and Bryant Real Estate. Find somewhere else to stay.

Quaint old school beach cottage

To open, this is an excellent rental - if you have the right expectations. This is an early 20th century beach cottage that has stuck around even as newer houses and condos have gone up nearby. With that in mind, if you're someone who is looking for a condo or resort atmosphere, this is not it. It has a great wraparound porch and the location is just several blocks from "Downtown" where all of the little shops are, easily walkable. The house includes in a mini-beach area on the bay side across the street, and also has path access (they don't tell you this) shared with the house opposite on the beach side. Window AC units are in the bedroom but shared spaces are not air conditioned. The second bathroom is on the porch and designed for people coming back from the beach - it would be considered semi-outdoor. It appears the same family has owned this house for several generations as there many family photos and items throughout. It has basic cable TV although the Internet is NOT high speed - it is fine for checking e-mail but if you are planning on working you will need to go to Starbucks or elsewhere. To address Amy H.'s extremely negative review, yes, there is a "public access sidewalk" - known to most as just "a sidewalk" - next to the house as Wrightsville Beach is set up like a small town on a street grid - 3/4 of the houses front a sidewalk! The houses are on city lots and so yes, parking is tight - 4 mid-sized cars would be the max, and if you have country-folk sized pick up trucks, probably 2. Parking is in short supply everywhere on the island as it is pretty densely packed. The road is busy as it is a main road on the island, and it would help if the bushes were trimmed back from the road for visibility. I slept in the living room (no AC) in 95 degree heat and survived (!), so I would imagine most dogs would as well unless they are made of ice. The rental was not dirty, just "vintage," like old beach houses are - wood paneling and flooring throughout, cute. We walked to the beach and to the shops are restaurants daily and it was so nice not to drive. Also fished on the bay side beach area and checked out the boats. There was some beach gear and also washer/dryer. Rental company was nice, deposit refund 30+ days. Bottom line, with appropriate expectations this is a great rental, but if you want to lounge in a condo watching Netflix and not getting the beach experience, this is not for you, and you will pay accordingly elsewhere.
