Great beach/bay house

We had a great time staying here for the weekend. House has everything you need and can walk to anything in Wrightsville Beach you might want to do. Should have brought my fishing rods for the dock!

Wonderful house, beautifully decorated and ideal location. The dock was ideal to be picked up by boat one afternoon. Would prefer not to have to make our own beds, but besides that the house is perfect!

Thanks for the kind review Sarah and apologies for the linen situation. Ours is a family cottage and we don't have the manpower, sets of linens, or turn over time to provide that service like other rentals. Glad ya'll had a good time.

I've rented this house 2 years in a row and I've been beyond thrilled both times. Ms. Allen is great at keeping you in the loop leading up to your stay. The house is great for family, friends, couples, etc. I highly recommend it!

Couldn't have asked for anything better!

This house was the perfect place for our cousin reunion! Beautiful view of the sound, awesome deck for sitting in the sunlight, the most stocked kitchen I've ever seen, lots of room for family socializing, beautiful decorating, plenty of privacy, quick hop to the public beach access...I could go on & on. Thank you for a fantastic spot!

Really wonderful! Very clean. Well maintained. Super comfortable. Thoughtfully stocked kitchen. Updated bathrooms. My favorite feature of this property was the living spaces that were large enough for all 14 of us to enjoy being together. This included the living room/dining area, the sound side porch, and the private pier - all of which were awesome!Superb location to enjoy the beach, the sound, and walking distance to downtown shops & restaurants.

Great family vacation home

We love staying in this wonderful beach house! We were raised in Wilmington, and have played at Wrightsville Beach for decades. We have rented this house many summers and have recently realized how lovely the beach is in winter! Specifically we love this house for its location (close to the ocean and the sound), for the dock we use for our boat, the wonderful dining room table which almost seats all of us, the kitchen is very well equipped, bedrooms are nice, and you can’t beat the sunsets from the wonderful porch. It also helps that with our large family, some can stay at the nearby Blockade Runner, but join us for meals and gatherings. Owners are very gracious and communicate well.

Excellent location, tons of room

We really enjoyed our stay here. There were plenty of beds for everyone in our group. The kitchen, living room and outside decks provided plenty of space for our family. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating to our request for a late check out which we really appreciated. The only thing I would recommend is that the price included linens (sheets and towels) and you could opt out of that if you chose to. Instead, we had to buy those at HomeGoods. Renting them would have been almost as expensive.

We are delighted that your stay at our Wrightsville house was enjoyable. We have had many conversations about bed linens and towels. It appears there is no easy answer. We do not have the man power to make the beds and wash afterwards. Many of our guests bring their own, but that is not possible if traveling by car. The present system seems to work the best for the majority of our guests. Please come again.

Memory Lane

My family has stayed in this house many, many times over a period of 45 years. The house retains its lovely beachy feel although it has been updated and improved over the years. This is a classic Wrightsville Beach experience. Two porches give you an opportunity to follow the breeze in the summer , and watch the boat activity in the Sound year-round. The pier is a new addition, and a great addition! The layout is split-level, so you are not constantly climbing full flights of stairs to get to another floor. Great location in the middle of the Beach. We love this cottage!

Wrightsville Beach

The property met our need of housing our family for a graduation, birthday and Christmas celebration. The location was enjoyed by most, even in the cold weather. We did see several roaches, which was not appreciated. I think the cleaning fee should be charged up front. Everyone had a good time.

Can’t Wait to Return

This wonderful beach cottage accommodated our family of 10 beautifully! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could ever want and the living room was big and spacious enough for all to gather at day’s end. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We practically lived on the sound side where we could get all the sun we wanted or enjoy the breeze under the covered deck area. It was the perfect house for us!

Better than pictures

This house is wonderful. It swallows a crowd of people--there are many nooks/porches if you want to find some solitude, but the whole gang can gather in the living area or on the main porch. The owners/managers are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the location is fantastic. Plenty of parking, plenty of beds, the rooms are larger than they look in the pictures and it's just a 10 out of 10 for everything!

Wonderful

Perfect house and location. Comfortable seating areas inside and out for groups. Kitchen well stocked. Owners very accommodating. Would definitely rent again and recommend. Only inconvenience was having to bring our own linens as there are 8 single beds and we had to scrounge around to find find twin sets. Linen service was too expensive for a weekend stay.
