Look no further than our 1500 SF OCEANFRONT beach bungalow, “The Turtle” that sleeps up to 7 people!

Wilbur-by-the-Sea is prized for its getaway appeal it is located on a condo-free section of beach designated as a “turtle nesting area.” This means no motorized vehicles, no dogs, fewer tourists, privacy and peace of mind while relaxing on the beach with your family and friends.

From the moment you walk through the front door, you'll know you are in a special place as you experience the coziness of our 1920s oceanfront beach bungalow.

This home offers the ultimate experience for water lovers with its beach views and spectacular sunrise views. Daydream on the back patio while relaxing on the swing or patio furniture. Enjoy a beverage while listening to the sound of the waves and feel the ocean breeze against your skin.

Use our private access from the back porch to the lookout landing where you will be able to enjoy unobstructed ocean views and have direct beach access.

We have beach chairs, umbrellas, and children beach toys for use during your visit. Bring your beach bike for wonderful cruise on one of the largest beaches on the East Coast (Atlantic Ocean).

The fully equipped kitchen lets you prepare amazing dishes for everyone to enjoy! Choose to eat at the table in the kitchen nook or opt to enjoy meals during your vacation as you overlook the ocean! If you'd rather dine out, you're within walking distance from Boondocks Restaurant (waterfront and marina), 1 mile to North Turn Beach Bar and Grill or approx. 2.5 miles to Aunt Catfish Restuarant (waterfront).

Gorgeous

The only problem with our stay was that it was too short! Could not believe the view and it was all ours! Coffee on the back porch overlooking the ocean every morning, it doesn’t get any better!

Wonderful Getaway

This house is so adorable and has many extras - things I don't usually see in a rental! I felt very well cared for! You can't beat the view and access to the beach! Danielle is the sweetest host! She was very informative and helpful with everything I asked for. We had the most wonderful time, and will return for sure!

The Turtle Experience

I rented the Turtle and stayed there most of the week by myself, but about 2 nights my friends stayed with me. My one friend has 2 kids and they loved it. Danielle supplies board games and we had a big lunch and played games all afternoon. Once the weather cleared up we walked on the beach and looked for shells. We all had an amazing time. Danielle was awesome! Always answers questions and helps assist with whatever request you might have. The master bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in lol and for me, that's important! If you are looking for a hotel style home, this is not the place. If you are looking for character that only a 103 year old house can give, then this is it! This house sits high up with it's own private beach area or you can walk down a few steps and be on public beach. I was there during Spring Break and it was so quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for solitude, this is the house. Also, I cannot put into words how beautiful the sunrise was to watch every morning and the amazing photos I was able to take. Thanks Danielle for everything. Kim B.

This beach house is even more beautiful and charming than photographs can capture. It is a comfortable and clean house with the perfect view of the beach from the front porch and dining table indoors. Danielle, the manager is welcoming and genuinely cares about her guests. We look forward to staying here again in the future!!

Better Than Expected

If you like new(er) high rise condos, crowded elevators, pools and beaches, stay away from this house. This is an old time beach house with antique hardwood floors, funky layout and no pool. Super clean with an almost private beach just down the steps from the house. This place was sooooo relaxing and the owner was great. We loved it and so did the four kids (17 to 25)

Great beach house for family vacation

Loved this house. Right on the beach with fantastic ocean view. Very spacious for 4 of us and a wonderful beach deco/feel to the whole house. We spent 3 days on the beach and everything was provided that we needed for beach relaxation and fun. Spent the evenings dining and shopping at the many nearby restaurants and shops. Thanks Danielle for a wonderful stay at The Turtle!

Great secluded beach getaway!

We had a great stay! Owner was incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. We loved the location especially. Even at peak times of the day the beach in front of the house has hardly any people on it. Most locals seem to stay further down the beach , so it was the perfect getaway for a vacation during Covid. Very easy to social distance. Which eased our minds and was the main reason we chose to stay in a house this year instead of a hotel. Now we are spoiled and don’t know if we will ever go back to beach hotels after this lol. Danielle provided a lot, sunscreen, plenty of beach towels, multiple bottles of sunscreen, a ton of beach toys, floats, chairs, and board games. All of that really helped us have a great trip! So relaxing to sit on the back swing and look at the ocean! Internet could be improved, but it was still enough for us to stream Netflix and all in all we had a great family trip here and made lots of new memories!

Old property, terrible customer service

House was boiling hot upon arrival. Many items broken including doors, blinds, shades, washer. Owner was rude from the time our flight got canceled, to the time my father almost passed causing us to need to leave early. She complained about the cleanliness of the property even though we pay a huge cleaning fee and left for an emergency. She kept the entire deposit.

Absolutely delightful

Almost hard to believe this place exists. House sits directly on a lovely and secluded beach. Dolphins swimming by. No hotels or condos nearby, so beach is never crowded. Gorgeous sunsets. House itself is cozy and comfortable and has everything you need. Great room has dining table and couches for lounging with picture windows onto the beach. I'd give it six stars if I could.
