Description

Imagine waking up to the rhythmic crash of waves and stepping onto your expansive, wraparound oceanfront porch, coffee in hand, as the first light of day dances across the Atlantic. Welcome to "Chequers," a timeless 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom beach cottage that has been welcoming families since 1940. This lovingly maintained historic retreat offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal getaway for those seeking the quintessential Wrightsville Beach experience.

Inside, the main level exudes warmth and character with its inviting open-concept living and kitchen area. Sunlight streams through the windows, illuminating the cozy seating and nautical accents that give the space its signature charm. The fully equipped kitchen, with its modern appliances and classic cottage aesthetic, ensures meal prep is a breeze. Adjacent to the kitchen, the enclosed ocean-view dining porch provides an intimate and scenic setting for family meals, board games, or simply enjoying a glass of wine while the sea breeze drifts in. Two guest bedrooms on this level each feature two twin beds, offering a comfortable and convenient setup. A full bathroom is centrally located for easy access from both the bedrooms and the porch, ensuring everyone has space to refresh after a day on the sand.

Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample room for relaxation. The oceanfront primary suite is a tranquil haven, where a plush king bed faces breathtaking views of the water. Drift off to sleep to the sound of the surf and wake up to a picture-perfect sunrise over the horizon. The ensuite bathroom maintains a touch of the past with its checkered tile flooring while offering modern conveniences, including a shower-tub combination. Just beyond the staircase, a queen guest room also enjoys stunning ocean views, making it a favorite among visitors. The third upstairs bedroom, with two full beds, is spacious and well-suited for adult guests or children, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to unwind.

Beyond the walls of this enchanting cottage, Wrightsville Beach beckons. "Chequers" is perfectly situated just a short stroll from local shops, grocery stores, and some of the best waterfront dining the area has to offer. Whether you spend your days lounging in the sun, searching for seashells, or catching the perfect wave, you'll love the convenience of direct beach access just steps from your front door. As the sun sets, retreat to the porch to watch the sky explode in hues of pink and gold, a breathtaking end to another perfect day by the sea.

With its rich history, unbeatable location, and inviting coastal charm, "Chequers" is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a beloved beachside sanctuary where families return year after year to relive treasured memories and create new ones.

We were there for a week in September. This is a great old fashioned beach cottage. It’s right at the beach access so very convenient especially if you have small children. Plenty of bedrooms for everyone. The only negative thing is the fact that there is no storage for groceries. None. Nada. We put ours on top of the refrigerator.

Manager's Response

Hi Douglas! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Chequers. We've had many guests say this house reminds them of vacationing at the beach when they were growing up. I do agree about the kitchen storage and I will log that suggestion for the property managers to note to the owner so they might can come up with a solution to remedy that situation. We hope you'll return for another week very soon!

We were a family of 9. Chequers had plenty of bed space and a beautiful wrap around porch (though dunes obstruct beach views from porch - disclosed in description beforehand.) Common areas were a challenge for our larger group, but again, we knew this going in as it's a 1940s cottage. Dining is either around the counter or on the porch. As we live in the area we brought a 6' banquet table and folding chairs to add to the existent porch table and that allowed us to eat together. Not too hot for us, as it was in the shade and in June. It might be a challenge later in the summer. We enjoyed having easy access to the beach and to downtown Wrightsville Beach. Parking is a slight challenge (as it always is at WB) with some jostling for street spots (2 street passes are included with the rental and the house has 2-3 spots, depending on car size.) Kitchen is well stocked.

Manager's Response

Thank you Silvia for the fantastic review! Chequers is a popular home and I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at this cute historical house. We hope you will return to Chequers again in the near future!

A delightful stay at this cottage...very rustic and definitely not fancy, but hey, it's the beach. I do wish that you could see the ocean from the first floor windows, but the dunes are built go upstairs to enjoy looking at the ocean.
A couple of simple amenities are needed: a light over the stove, and a drain plug for each of the baths. As creepy as it might seem, my family likes to take baths, even when we travel. Overall a nice experience.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your wonderful review from your stay at the Chequers cottage, James! We are so excited you enjoyed the charm of this historic Wrightsville home, certainly one of the few that still exist on the island today. The owners maintain the property really well, always doing small projects like painting the rocking chairs and deck, updating bedding, and upgrading kitchen appliances without disrupting the cozy feeling in the home. I believe there are some bathtub stoppers under the sink in each bathroom but I will definitely make note to double check on my next inspection there, placing new ones if needed! Thank you again for your review and we hope you will return to Chequers on your next beach trip!

The house is dated but I knew that from the reviews. Water views are only from upstairs windows but steps from beach is perfect.
House needs a lot of TLC. Open windows come slamming down and can be a hazard. The property was not cleaned to expectations and I made the agency aware. Dust was thick on many surfaces. Once I cleaned (having gone to the store for supplies) it was a pleasant vacation. More dining seating on the porch would be helpful since the house accommodates 12 but seating is for 6. Maybe even a simple wood picnic table would do.

Manager's Response

Patricia, we appreciate your feedback from your stay at Chequers! Be sure to let us know about any cleanliness issues on arrival before cleaning yourself so we can send a housekeeper out to fix anything you desire. The property is regularly dusted on each clean but as with any older house, it can gather quickly especially if there are a couple days between rentals as with your stay. Nonetheless, we will flag this issue to our housekeeping team to continue to encourage our high cleaning standards. The picnic table is a wonderful idea and I will definitely add that to our owner suggestions file for our property managers to review with them this off season. The deck has a bunch of white rocking chairs the owner recently painted for additional seating outside. We hope you enjoyed your quick trip to the beach and hope you will visit with us again next time.

The house is everything we needed from a beach rental! The pictures do a great job of showing you the space. The house has enough room for 12 people to sleep comfortably, great outdoor space (including shade on some part of the porch at all points during the day), and 2 outdoor showers. The owners included a history of the area and the house, which was a very fun read. The house is in a wonderful location with the beach access right out the front door. There are plenty of restaurants (go to Tower 7!), Roberts market, and shops just blocks away.

Another review mentioned a lack of "pantry" space, which is definitely true; the counters fill up quickly. (There's a hallway downstairs that gave us a little more space for food storage; a shelf in that area would be useful!)

Everyone we worked with at Bryant Real Estate was friendly. This is the second time we've rented through them, and we will definitely use them in the future.

Manager's Response

Alissa, thank you so much for your kind words and review of Chequers!! This is a wonderful historic home full of original Wrightsville charm! It is definitely important to us to advertise our properties exactly as they appear so guest's expectations meet reality. Glad the home was as pictured and fit your family perfectly! The outdoor showers are always a plus, espeically since the beach access is a step off the porch. I will absolutely make note of your suggestion about pantry space and pass that along to the owner for review. I think some shelving is a great idea and will see what we can do! It's great to hear you enjoyed our services and working with our staff - we are thrilled to rent to you again! Keep us in mind for your next trip to Wrightsville, you are always welcome.

The location of the house is central to everything and perfect for relaxing on the beach. The house itself is in need of some love. The furniture was worn and stained- not very inviting. There are no cabinets to put any food in, so the counters were cramped. They also lacked plastic plates and cups for eating outside. We did enjoy the comfortable rocking chairs for sitting on the porch.

Steps from the beach and appreciate the historic vintage feel. Plenty of space for 6 people, each of us had our own beds. View of the ocean from 2 of the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Property is clean, air conditioning excellent for both floors, and beds are comfy. We prepared all of our meals in. There's plenty of dishes, glasses and pots/pans/utensils. We did bring our own spices, knives, small camping/portable grill, extra TP, paper towels/plates, garbage bags, extra dishtowels and beach towels (as recommended). We really enjoyed eating all of our meals outside on the shaded front porch, it has such a good cross breeze in the front corner. Rocking chairs are a nice touch. We had a minor problem with stovetop and maintenance came quickly and fixed it in 5 mins. The 2 outdoor showers with warm water helps to rinse off before going in the house. This was a perfect place to stay during the pandemic. It's located between 2 lifeguard stands, therefore just a little less crowded on the beach. Walk left for the downtown or turn right for Johnnie Mercers. Took nightly walks on the beach for stargazing. One night we were blessed to experience a rare bioluminescent plankton, which made the sand in your footsteps sparkle with glittering light. Very relaxing stay and we will come back again.
