Exquisite 7BR Home w Elevator and Private Pool!
Feel all your stress and worries melt away the instant you pull up to this spectacular home! There is no home on Wrightsville beach better suited for gathering large family groups. The most notable and rare feature is the surplus of parking that Sparkie’s Place offers – two garages that house four vehicles and a parking pad that allows parking for four to six additional vehicles. There is an elevator just inside the foyer that can be accessed through the garage or front entry that services all floors of this lovely home making it convenient for unloading luggage, groceries, and ensures the whole family can access their desired destination.
Moving up to the first floor of the home you are greeted by new flooring updated just in time for the 2024 season, a comfortable living room that leads out to a deck and a dreamlike kitchen. The kitchen is perfect for meal preparation with three ovens, two gas ranges, two microwaves, two dishwashers, two sinks, and two refrigerators! There is a formal dining room just off the kitchen in addition to the bar seating and a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen table. The layout of this kitchen makes it ideal for dinner parties and gives endless possibilities for families to host memorable holiday gatherings. There is also a full laundry room and pantry off the kitchen – there is no shortage of storage in this home! On the other side of the stairwell you will find a half bathroom and the first guest room with queen bed and beautiful french doors.
The second floor has four guest rooms all complete with new flooring as of 2024, shared jack and jill bathrooms and several private deck areas with new furniture to relax and soak in the salt air. The spacious master bedroom offers an elegantly appointed private bathroom and deck with new furniture overlooking the ocean. The top level of this home has a sleeping area with a pyramid bunk bed and sleeper sofa that is perfect for kids and teens. There is also a wet bar with microwave, small refrigerator, coffee pot, full bathroom and deck with expansive views of the sound and ocean.
Enjoy unobstructed ocean views with one of the nine exterior decks or get some sand between your toes – with the beach access conveniently located across the street it makes enjoying the ocean a breeze. The private saltwater pool is perfect for taking a refreshing dip in after a long day in the sun and is a great place to for the entire family to gather. Pack up the family and start your adventure today!

Hard Pass
Let this be a warning that the property photos don’t represent the current condition of the home, which is exceptionally tired. Features & furnishings are broken, missing, torn, and/or dirty. On the upside, the location is fantastic, and for those traveling with a large group, the home was big enough, so it never seemed crowded. The pool was definitely a bonus.
The following is a list of some of what we experienced.
1. The next-door neighbor is awful. On Saturday at 12:30 PM my guests, and I were enjoying the swimming pool. The neighbor continuously yelled profanity and kept screaming that this was “a neighborhood, not a party.”
2. Ants are a huge problem, and I don’t mean just a couple ants. Thousands of ants were in the sink, counters, and around the refrigerator. I even had ants crawling on me while sitting on the family room couch.
3. Upon arrival, none of the four TVs worked. Maintenance came and was able to get two of them working. BTW, the maintenance workers are fantastic! Huge shout out to David & Jason who quickly responded to all the repairs needed during our stay.
4. Nearly every piece of furniture was dirty, torn, or broken, and I’m not even exaggerating.
5. The carpet is stained beyond repair.
6. Some pots, pans and cooking utensils were missing.
7. There’s more, but I think you get it …

Cheap and Shoddy
Several balcony door locks broken or missing, Ice maker broken, one role of low quality TP per bathroom, No extra trash bags, floors were dirty, second hand repurposed furniture with rips and tears, no first aid kit, 14 page contract to fill out and send back, rigid rules with severe penalties ($300 for missing garage door opener) for check-in and check out. Really doesn't sleep as many as the website claims comfortably. We were going for a memorial service and I stated as much in the initial VRBO correspondence....but kept getting "Enjoy your Vacation!" emails. Email from property manager stated we need parking passes then I was told we didn't need parking passes at the office? I wanted a place where the family could gather and mourn without having to worry about insignificant things....however the tone set by the property manager's automatic emails and materials made everyone feel unwelcome and uneasy. In the beginning of the process, I chatted with a VRBO tech about the ridiculous contract and she was no help.

Perfect house and location
We rented this house for mostly family and a few close friends of our wedding party. Very spacious with a lot of places for people to hang out. Walking distance to the beach, views of the beach and bay from balconies, 3 min drive off the island. We didn’t use the pool but would be a great touch for a summer stay. Highly recommended for large groups!

Not worth the money
The rental process for this property did not end with the “confirmed booking” on this app. You will go through correspondence with a separate rental agency that makes you sign several pages of policies. No groups of any kind besides immediate family, which is pretty crazy for a house that sleeps 23 people. Very odd that not even church groups were allowed. The way money was spent in this house made no sense to any of us. White rugs and white cushions showed stains everywhere. Coffee maker was broken. Porch screen ripped and completely broken table outside. The exterior of the front of house is the most appealing part. Poor landscaping in the back leads to a very dirty deck and furniture near the pool. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone and do not plan to stay here again. The house had tons of potential but it was not put to use.
