Oceanfront escape! Spectacular ocean views, 2 pools, tennis & elevator!

If your ideal escape includes a balance of peace with the option for lots of activity, Salty Sunrise is for you.

There is an elevator on site for renter use. **Elevator reliable but not guaranteed.**

**Renovations may be underway in neighboring units in the offseason. Construction is allowed Monday through Friday 8 am until 5 pm during the off season**

Notice: There will be a scheduled multi-phase elevator modernization project across several Wrightsville Dunes buildings. For Building G, the elevator will be completely out of service from February 1, 2027 through March 8, 2027.

Renovated in 2016, this north end Wrightsville Beach condo has both direct beach access and 2 community pools – along with a tennis court. Don’t choose between a view of the ocean and a view of the marshy sound – here you get both from your 2BR end unit + 2 bed loft. Peace and activity – that’s Salty Sunrise.

Key Features: Renovated, ocean front

The patio was the perfect place to sit and enjoy the sounds of the beach during the cool breezy times, and it was just a short walk down to the beach on the beach-worthy days. Everything we needed was available, including beach towels. We look forward to going back when we have more time to enjoy the tennis court and pool.

Stunning view & family friendly

The property is a corner condo on the top floor. Has an elevator for ease of access. The boardwalk to the beach is directly beside the condo with an outdoor shower.The view is spectacular from the outdoor deck. The teens loved the upstairs bedroom with the spiral staircase and their own TV. The location of the condo on the island is away from the hussle and bussle but close enough to drive to dinner in minute.

Best place we’ve stayed!

This was the best vacation spot and the best property management that we have ever had on any of our beach trips! They were so communicative and responsive if we needed anything. The check-in and check-out process was the easiest we’ve had! And we loved that there were no keys to deal with and no office we had to drive to to drop off parking passes. The place we stayed was gorgeous, the views were spectacular, and beach access couldn’t have been easier! There’s even a storage room with a beach cart, toys, chairs, etc. I have nothing but positive things to say! We would love to use Sea Scape again for our beach vacation!

Enjoyed the location and accomodations. Only issues, and they are minor, is staircase going upstairs was a constant concern of hitting head and bike in the storage were very old and rusty. Other than that, we loved the place and enjoyed our stay.

Great family trip

Nice place to stay. Elevators and storage room were such a blessing! Plenty of extra chairs and toys for the beach. Rooms were nice with comfy beds. Make sure to pull the knobs out to turn the shower water on. East to get ahold of property management for questions. Would totally stay again!

Pros & Cons

Pros- communication was fast and efficient with easy check in/out process Nice grounds, close to water and pool Nice condo layout with very comfortable beds Sulphur smell in water was milder than a previous property we stayed at last year CONS- rental wear is evident in living room couches and bathroom floors -fridge ice-maker didnt produce normal amount of ice, (maintenance did offer to check it out, but we just purchased ice) fridge was warm by the end if stay. Had toilet seal replaced first day (was leaking upon flushing). Kitchen garbage pedal broke, floor made bare feet dirty Overall- would recommend staying, as long as couches were replaced

Salty Sunrise

We absolutely loved our stay at Salty Sunrise. The unit was exactly as described and had everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys and 2 adult bikes were included. We rented beach umbrellas which were not included from an outside agency and they were delivered to our unit before our arrival. The only drawback was the sulphuric water smell every time you turned the water on. I believe this affects the entire Wrightsville Beach area. We brought some bottled water and used it for cooking. It didn’t take away from the beauty of this location. Would definitely stay here again.

The condo was clean with modern decor, and perfect location. Had everything we needed for a week long stay. Only thing that would have made it better would have been a beach umbrella, but everything else was perfect.
