Upper level duplex in heart of Wrightsville Beach!
Nestled on East Henderson Street in the heart of Wrightsville Beach, the "Williams Upper" unit offers an unbeatable location, just half a block from the beach. This prime spot places you steps from the sand, with Johnnie Mercer’s Pier just two blocks to the north, and local shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The "Williams Upper" is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom upper unit in a duplex, featuring a traditional floor plan with charming furnishings. The spacious living room opens to a partially covered wraparound porch – the perfect spot for people watching, relaxing in the shade, or soaking up some sun. Enjoy grilling and dining with the family at the outdoor table after a day at the beach, or rinse off the sand in the convenient outdoor shower.
The home is designed for comfort and relaxation, with the dining room offering wall-to-wall windows that fill the space with natural light, creating a cozy gathering place for family meals and cherished memories.
The primary bedroom features a queen bed and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, along with easy access to the outside stairs.

Had a great time! Perfect location, and cute and cozy beach house feel. Kitchen could use some updates, but overall good value. View from porch was great, and a squirrel came to say hello on the palm tree. Would consider coming back to this location.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the perfect location, cozy beach house feel, and the lovely view from the porch. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
We really enjoyed the beach and proximity of house to beach. The house was great for our family of 5 and grandparents. House was clean but not updated which was fine considering the price. Would have enjoyed a filtered water dispenser on fridge. We had to buy water. Overall great place. Maintenance / housekeeping was very responsive! Would rent again.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great stay! The cottage is spacious and we loved the porch and location. The only drawback was the front bedroom. The temperature reached mid-90's a couple of days and the air conditioning had a hard time keeping the cottage cool, especially in the front bedroom. Otherwise, wonderful stay...we would stay again!

Response from VrboOwner on 25 May 2022
Hey Lynn - Thank you for the feedback. We had our maintenance tech go out to the property to check the AC's operation. He found the bedroom you mentioned has a single vent that that is working correctly. During your stay we did have some record temperatures! Though it reached the mid-90's, the heat index was over 100 for several days and HVAC systems are generally designed to achieve a 20 degree drop from that external temp to the internal temp. During these warm days, we recommend guest to keep blinds/curtains closed on sun facing sides of the building to improve the thermal efficiency and the room temperature. Overall we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to facilitating your next family vacation!

Great location, older property
The location is a short walk to the beach and very convenient. The unit was more dated than it looked online. It was clean except for the air filters. We had a water leak in our unit which was leaking downstairs. They addressed it quickly but there is a mildew smell in the unit. Most of our group were kids so they were fine and liked being so close to the beach. The adult allergic to mold and dust had to sleep in the kids room which is the one room on the side of the unit without the bathroom. I gave it 4 stars based on location which was very important to us and the service addressing the water leak quickly.

Christina, thank you for your review on the Williams unit! I am so sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay, but I'm relieved our maintenance was able to address everything quickly! This is the first I've heard about a mildew smell in the unit but will definitely look into that and see what we can do to rectify the problem if needed. We would love to have you stay with us again soon!

We are so delighted to hear that you loved the Williams unit, Charles! It's just steps from the beach access which makes beach trips a breeze especially since you don't have to worry about parking since the driveway has a couple spots! Glad you were able to unwind and relax a bit - that's what vacation is all about! Give us a call when you are ready to book your next trip, you are welcome back anytime!
Vassilios, we are so happy you enjoyed the Williams unit and had a 5-star weekend trip to Wrightsville Beach! Having assigned parking is always a bonus on WB, since you can avoid costly fees and frustrations with beach traffic. The unit is walking distance to the beach access which is also a great perk as you mentioned! We would love to host you again next time you are in the area so be sure to keep us in mind! Take care!
We were in the upper level of the house & loved it. The house was clean, roomy and very comfortable except that all but one of the beds had super hard mattresses. We borrowed a foam mattress cover from family who are local, so didn’t call the office. The location can’t be beat - you have a glimpse of the ocean from the porch and you can heat the waves. Better yet, the house held its own in a category 1 hurricane with no issues!!

Oh Jeannine, thank you for your kind review of the Williams unit! Next time you stay, if it's at this property let us know which mattress you felt was uncomfortable! We always log this info and if the mattress has repeat complaints we suggest replacement to the owner. I'm delighted to hear the unit was nice and clean, as well as comfortable for your family! You guys are troopers for sticking around for the hurricane - glad everyone was safe and the house held up well! We'd love to have your family back next time you're planning a trip to Wrightsville, hopefully hurricane free!
Near the beach, but busiest area, so we'd walk a couple hundred feet away from the pier to get more space. If you want privacy, this home is not for you. The bedroom doors are slotted (i.e. not solid) so conversations, etc. in one bedroom are easily heard in the rest of the home. The kitchen is microscopic in size. The basics (A/C, hot water, dishes, etc.) were fine.

Hi Craig, thank you for your review of the Williams unit. One of the many perks of this unit is it's proximity to the beach, so I hope you guys enjoyed that and relaxing on the deck with ocean views! Sounds like there might be other properties that would better match your family's needs, so feel free to call the office next time you are ready to book!

This is still my favorite rental for Memorial Day. We are a small group but there are 4 bedrooms and decent living space.

We enjoyed our Memorial Day Weekend stay. 4 adults, 3 kids. Plenty of space and privacy and just 4 houses away from beach access. Beds were very comfortable. All appliances worked. There were no beach chairs, kids toys, or outside shower area which would have helped keep sand in its place. Living room furniture old and worn. It is an older place and it is given its basically clean but could use a deep clean of baseboards and corners. New caulking in older bathroom is recommended. We did call regarding AC and management got right back to us. We will consider staying here again.

Overall, this had been a pleasant stay expect for the fact that this place could have been lot cleaner considering the fact we came with 4 kids aging 2-4 yrs. While we understand this property is decades old, still the cleanliness factor would give a better rating and review. I believe we left the unit in better and clean condition than it was handed over to us. Also, the company professional was not ready to help us on the check out time. Though I called 1 day before as they asked me to, they were not ready to consider giving an additional 1 hour to check out. We being with 4 kids is not easy to check out at 10am. Otherwise this place is a reasonable place with good location.

Great place for family vacation
This property is one of the older beach houses, but a great location to the beach and enough space for my family. Some of the furnishings have changed since these pictures were taken and the TV's are all now flat screens (one picture showed an old tube tv). Also, there are 3 queens instead of two. Hopefully they will update the listing as we took sheets for a full and 2 queens plus the twin beds. The place was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen (a little small) and the agency was very responsive to our needs. I grew up going to a beach house like this so it brings back memories of my childhood, so if you don't mind an older place with charm this is a great spot to take your family.
