Historic 40s Beachfront Cottage w Wraparound Porch
Imagine waking up to the rhythmic crash of waves and stepping onto your expansive, wraparound oceanfront porch, coffee in hand, as the first light of day dances across the Atlantic. Welcome to "Chequers," a timeless 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom beach cottage that has been welcoming families since 1940. This lovingly maintained historic retreat offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal getaway for those seeking the quintessential Wrightsville Beach experience.
Inside, the main level exudes warmth and character with its inviting open-concept living and kitchen area. Sunlight streams through the windows, illuminating the cozy seating and nautical accents that give the space its signature charm. The fully equipped kitchen, with its modern appliances and classic cottage aesthetic, ensures meal prep is a breeze. Adjacent to the kitchen, the enclosed ocean-view dining porch provides an intimate and scenic setting for family meals, board games, or simply enjoying a glass of wine while the sea breeze drifts in. Two guest bedrooms on this level each feature two twin beds, offering a comfortable and convenient setup. A full bathroom is centrally located for easy access from both the bedrooms and the porch, ensuring everyone has space to refresh after a day on the sand.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample room for relaxation. The oceanfront primary suite is a tranquil haven, where a plush king bed faces breathtaking views of the water. Drift off to sleep to the sound of the surf and wake up to a picture-perfect sunrise over the horizon. The ensuite bathroom maintains a touch of the past with its checkered tile flooring while offering modern conveniences, including a shower-tub combination. Just beyond the staircase, a queen guest room also enjoys stunning ocean views, making it a favorite among visitors. The third upstairs bedroom, with two full beds, is spacious and well-suited for adult guests or children, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to unwind.
Beyond the walls of this enchanting cottage, Wrightsville Beach beckons. "Chequers" is perfectly situated just a short stroll from local shops, grocery stores, and some of the best waterfront dining the area has to offer. Whether you spend your days lounging in the sun, searching for seashells, or catching the perfect wave, you'll love the convenience of direct beach access just steps from your front door. As the sun sets, retreat to the porch to watch the sky explode in hues of pink and gold, a breathtaking end to another perfect day by the sea.
With its rich history, unbeatable location, and inviting coastal charm, "Chequers" is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a beloved beachside sanctuary where families return year after year to relive treasured memories and create new ones. Don’t miss your chance to experience Wrightsville Beach the way it was meant to be. Book your stay today and let the magic of "Chequers" become part of your family’s story.
