Most vacation rentals in Wrightsville Beach give you a house. This one gives you a house and a full resort. The Beach House at Trailborn Surf & Sound is a freestanding, private 13-bedroom oceanfront cottage with complete access to the pool, restaurant, activities, and amenities at one of the most celebrated hotels on the Carolina coast.

The House

Thirteen bedrooms. Nine bathrooms. Sleeps up to 26. King and queen beds, twin bunk rooms; the layout works for multigenerational families, large friend groups, family reunions, or anyone who wants everyone under one roof.

Inside: a double living room with a gas fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, and an in-unit washer and dryer. Outside: wraparound porches on both floors with unobstructed views of the Atlantic to the east and Banks Channel to the west. Sunrise over the ocean in the morning. Sunset over the sound in the evening.

Direct soundside access is steps from the property for paddleboarding, fishing, watching the boats come through Banks Channel. The ocean beach is a short walk across the back lawn.

through the resort

Trailborn Surf & Sound is a Condé Nast Traveler 2026 Readers' Choice nominee and was named one of the South's best pools by Southern Living. You're not renting a vacation house, you're booking into a property that earned its reputation.

The Island

Wrightsville Beach is a small, walkable barrier island 15 minutes from downtown Wilmington - named one of the world's 20 best surf towns by National Geographic and one of America's best beach towns by Travel & Leisure. The 2.5-mile island loop for biking and walking is right outside the door.

Who Books the Beach House

Family reunions. Friend group beach weeks. Bachelorette and bachelor weekends. Adult surf trips. Multigenerational gatherings. Groups of 15 to 26 typically find the Beach House the cleanest option on the island: everyone together, private space and resort amenities.
