As the summer crowds begin to fade and Wrightsville Beach settles into its quieter, more relaxed rhythm, fall offers a different kind of coastal escape. At Harbor Tide Estate, a luxurious waterfront retreat on Big Lollipop Bay, the season is made for slowing down—watching the sunset from the deck, spending an afternoon on the water, gathering around the table for dinner, and ending the day in the hot tub or beside the fireplace. With room for up to 12 guests, a private dock and boat slips, kayaks and paddleboards, and plenty of space to gather, Harbor Tide Estate offers an effortless setting for families, multi-generational getaways, or a long-overdue escape with friends. We spoke with Sea Scape Properties Director of Hospitality Luc Le Chatton about why this peaceful corner of Wrightsville Beach is especially inviting in the fall—and how Harbor Tide Estate makes it easy to settle in and savor the season.

Harbor Tide Estate offers a completely different side of Wrightsville Beach. What makes its location on Big Lollipop Bay especially appealing for a fall getaway?

Fall is one of the best times to experience Harbor Tide Estate. Located on the quieter north end of Wrightsville Beach, the home offers a peaceful waterfront setting where guests can enjoy cooler temperatures, beautiful sunsets over Big Lollipop Bay, and a more relaxed atmosphere after the busy summer season. It’s the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the coast at an entirely different pace.

From the private dock and boat slips to kayaks, paddleboards, and peaceful waterfront views, what kind of experience can guests expect when they spend a few days embracing life on the water?

Guests can truly embrace the waterfront lifestyle during their stay. Whether they’re bringing a boat, launching a kayak or paddleboard from the private dock, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water, Harbor Tide Estate offers countless ways to spend time outdoors and enjoy everything the bay has to offer.

The home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. Who do you envision as the perfect guests for Harbor Tide Estate, and what makes it especially well-suited for family getaways or gathering friends together?
