Catch the sunrise from the beach literally across the street, then come home and head back up for sunset at the end of the day. The home sits on .18 acres, meaningful space on the island, with a shady, lush yard framed by mature live oaks, palms and established landscaping. Plenty of parking and a fully fenced backyard make the property especially easy for hosting family, friends and pets. Inside are five bedrooms and four full baths, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and renovated bath with a beautiful tiled shower, soaking tub and dual vanities. One of the three downstairs bedrooms has its own ensuite bath and could easily serve as a second primary suite.

And there are plenty of places to spread out beyond the main living spaces: a front porch, back deck, side deck with water views and a covered area beneath the house for watching TV, relaxing and hanging out after the beach. An additional ground-level room with a full bath creates even more flexibility as a game room, home gym or easy place to rinse off and regroup after a day on the sand. The home also has a strong history as a successful vacation rental, offering the opportunity to enjoy your own Wrightsville Beach house while putting it to work when you're away. Comfortable, welcoming and full of personality, 5 Parmele offers the space, outdoor living and flexibility that are increasingly hard to find on the island, all in a location that lets you experience Wrightsville Beach from sunrise to sunset.

A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Kure Beach! Just a few blocks from the Kure Beach Pier and ideally positioned between Carolina Beach and Fort Fisher, this property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own your own piece of the coast--land and home included. Originally built in 1954, the existing beach cottage is just under 500 square feet and was elevated onto pilings in the mid-1990s. The wood pilings appear to be in healthy condition, while the cottage itself is in need of significant repair and renovation. For someone with the right vision, there may be an opportunity to breathe new life into this classic little beach cottage. Or, start fresh. The existing structure is approximately 18 feet wide, and the property may offer the opportunity to remove the cottage and construct a new, approximately 15-foot-wide multi-story home designed to take advantage of the lot, coastal location, and ocean views. Buyers should independently verify all building, zoning, setback, and permitting requirements. As Kure Beach continues to grow and available lots become harder to find, opportunities like this simply don't come along very often. Whether your vision is to restore a piece of beach history or explore the possibilities of new construction, this is a chance to create something oceanfront that is uniquely your own and just blocks from restaurants, the pier, and everything that makes Kure Beach special.
