The Channel House~Water Views~Dock + Boatslip~Walk to beach!


Welcome to the Channel house! A beautiful beach home with 3 levels of personal sounds views. Experience one of our favorite locations at Wrightsville beach, tucked along a quiet residential street, just far enough off the busy thoroughfare but walkable to all of the island restaurants, shopping + beach accesses. The magic however is found on your expansive decks overlooking Banks Channel and your private deep water dock…swim, fish, swing in the hammock or bring your boat to live like a local.

The Channel House will quickly become your new favorite home away from home at Wrightsville Beach. We’re proud to welcome many returning guests year after year — a true testament to the charm, comfort, and unforgettable views this coastal retreat offers.

Step inside to find spacious, light-filled living areas that open to expansive sound views and cool coastal breezes. From sunrise coffee to golden-hour cocktails, there’s plenty of space to relax, recharge, and reconnect.
Start your morning on the covered porch, watching boats drift toward Masonboro Island. Spend lazy afternoons swaying- Jimmy Buffet style in the pier hammock before a sunset swim or drinks on the pier. Skip the busy boat ramp — your stay includes a complimentary deep-water boat slip for easy access to the Intracoastal.
All you’ll need are flip-flops and a swimsuit — The Channel House has everything else covered:

**Highlights**
Fully equipped chef’s kitchen for effortless meal prep and dining
4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with spa-like en suite bath and soaking tub
Three levels of unobstructed water views
Third-floor game room with pool table, TV, queen sleeper sofa, and private bath
Ample beach gear: 2 kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, beach wagon, chairs, and ground-floor ping pong
Private pier and deep-water dock
Off-street parking for up to 4 vehicles
When you’re ready to explore, the ocean and all of Wrightsville Beach’s local favorites are just a five-minute stroll away. Walk to:
Fresh tacos + margaritas at Tower 7 Cantina
Groceries and smoothies at Robert’s
Pizza at Vito’s, ice cream at Circles, and surf gear from Sweetwater Surf Shop
Coffee from The Workshop
And of course — an iconic Trolly Stop hot dog is imperative!
Whether desiring a relaxing beach getaway or a vibrant, entertaining trip with friends and family, The Channel House is your perfect Wrightsville Beach retreat.
~ We can’t wait to welcome you
