Masonboro Sound is steeped in rich history as the state’s oldest known coastal resort. Before the Revolution, Masonboro Sound was home to summer cottages. If they could afford the expense, Wilmington, NC residents would spend the often muggy summers along the Sound’s coast line to enjoy the cool breezes that kept the heat at bay. These substantial cottages later gave way to larger estates such as Captain Thomas Wright’s estate known as “Finian.” The area’s oldest remaining residence is the Hill-Anderson Cottage, a tiny shingled building from 1830s and one of very few antebellum resort buildings remaining on North Carolina's coast. 

Through the 19^th century, Masonboro Sound continued to grow in popularity as the place to spend your summers. Wilmington residents continued to the tradition of summering at Masonboro Sound and in doing so, kept the area free of the commercialism that has shaped most of North Carolina’s coastal development. This tradition as remained as Masonboro Sound is still free of hotels, pavilions and arcades.

Present day Masonboro Sound is still the private treasure of Wilmington. Many residents enjoy the seclusion and privacy Masonboro Sound Road provides while still being close to everything Wilmington has to offer. With little traffic, beautiful scenery and the cool breezes people have treasured for over 200 years, it’s so easy to see why people still love living here.
