About this property

Take in the salt air this family getaway!

Large families love the spacious layout of this two-story home, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy their stay. Close the beautiful, crashing waves of Wrightsville Beach, it’s the perfect setting for a coastal getaway. Wake up to ocean breezes, spend your afternoons lounging on the deck, and take in sublime sunset views over the bay. After a day at the beach, unwind with a family meal in the open dining area or soak under the stars in the private hot tub for a truly relaxing evening.

Upstairs sports an open layout, with plenty of gathering spaces- beautifully updated kitchen, dining, and living areas with a fireplace and deck access. Also on that floor are 3 beach-themed bedrooms and two baths. The ground floor offers a separate entrance from the main living area and has a second living room with a small kitchenette, a bedroom, and a second sleeping area. This separate living and sleeping area is NOT connected by interior stairs to the upstairs unit.

High School Friends Gathering

Freezer on the main fridge was broken and notified property manager immediately and allowed them to come and look at it, they sent a new refrigerator the day of check out at 9 am without notifying us with decisions to make so hope we made the right ones! The deck will need to be replaced soon as the boards are soft and spongy.

The upstairs appeared to be recently renovated and was very nice. The downstairs was misrepresented as being 2 bedrooms while in fact it was 1 br and a living area with a bed in it. It was musty downstairs as well.

Wonderful house for family

This house was wonderful for our family, plenty of space with various bedrooms/bathrooms to allow everyone to have their own areas, while enjoying the common areas together. The lower level having a separate entrance ended up working out, but would have like to have known it wasn't accessible from inside. Beautiful upgrades and renovations throughout the main level, very well stocked with basic necessities and Mgmt was communicative and helpful with one very small maintenance issue. The location is perfection, such easy beach access! We'd definitely come back to this house again!

Family Tides in Wrightsville Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mostly excellent - great location, nice accommodations. I know there are plans to renovate which I think will be great for future guests. Would have liked to be able to go from downstairs to upstairs inside. Sharp knives would be nice to have. But overall, the home was large enough for us all with space for people to also have alone time.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 March 2020
Thank you for your comments. We will have the knives replaced with sharper ones. The renovation will likely begin Fall 2016, which should connect the first & second floors, and add a 3rd floor.

Unfortunately, it was not our first choice due to a snafu with VRBO. SeaScape worked with us to make it right and got us in this property. I appreciate their help.

Disappointed and disgusted.

property needed multiple repairs while we were there a/c- refrigerator freezer- microwave started burning. ( water was running in it from outside ) gutters falling off in front of house which banged all night long. When we arrived smoke alarm and co 2 were going off in downstairs so we replaced batteries which we bought. A/c filters were black. we went and got new and replaced. screws coming out of stool we fixed those. oven was so dirty when opened set off the smoke alarm Two out of the three bathrooms had not been cleaned and were very gross. We had to clean those before using. The downstairs where multiple beds are and people had to sleep was mildew and musty. The remote to TV downstairs did not worked as batteries were corroded. We fixed that… With all the maintenance calls never once did management reach out. Seascape never reached out but texted over and over on what we were to be doing trash and when we checked out ect. Extremely annoying. Would never rent here again. We have stayed in other homes for last 5 years on this street and it was fantastic. Unfortunately we waited too long to book those homes and this one was available which should have been a warning sign. We will not make that mistake again.

Very easy access to the Beach!!!!

We were the 1st people to stay at the property since it had been sold to a new owner. There some things missing in the house; wine glasses, ironing board, vaccum, broom, and some cooking utensils. The management company was quick to rectify these problems. The downstairs unit needs significant updating and the bathroom tub was moldy. Some mattress were stained. There was 2 beds without mattress covers. That said the location is great. They have plenty of bicycles, beach towels and beach chairs.

Near Beach in Nice Neighborhood

Overall, we enjoyed this large, comfortable beach house. It's in an upscale neighborhood with beautifully groomed yards. Just a sliver of beach view, but only a 5 minute walk to the beach. We were given the wrong combination door lock number, but after a short phone call to Sea Scape Properties, we were in the house.
