My girlfriend and I stayed for a week and it exceeded our expectations.
The unique location has an unbeatable view with several activities at your door step. Right outside the door you have Wrightsville SUP (the best paddle board and kayak rental in Wilmington), Shred the Gnar Wakeboard lessons (run by current and former professional wakeboarders), and a boat rental company to explore the waterways. Our vacation goal was to be as active and outdoors as much as possible, contrasting our work lives being trapped indoors.
Without a kitchen or TV, we escaped the trap of vegging out watching random shows and forcing us to get outside. Jarrod’s place couldn’t have made it any easier. Everyday we’d start with a coffee on the porch overlooking the waterway and end with beverage doing the same. In between we paddle boarded, went deep sea fishing, took Surf Lessons from Indo Jax, went full send with the guys at Shred the Gnar wakeboard lessons, and relaxed on the beaches of the Wrightsville islands. For meals we used the bikes provided by Jarrod to hop around the Wrightsville restaurants and watering holes.
Jarrod also runs Wrightsville SUP and treats you with the same hospitality as one of his customers.
Just as important, my girlfriend, who is a clean freak and hates staying in hotels, loved the place and thought it was extremely clean (phew!).
Overall, it’s the best place for an active or “want to be active” couple to stay. We even tried to extend our stay, but it was already booked.
