Sweet cottage that is very close to the beach. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shop, surf shop/rental. Quiet dead end street with very little noise. Kitchen had everything we needed. Deck was perfect for enjoying the evening. We’ll be back next season.
2 minute walk to the beach / pier on a quiet side street. We used just the main floor which had plenty of space. The unit was nice and clean as well. We enjoyed our stay!

Excellent beach house. Great short walk to beach access yet still quiet at the house at night. Loved the front deck/porch. Room for all 9 to sit & enjoy the sun or nighttime breeze. Very spacious bedrooms for all. 3 bathrooms were perfect as well. Very well stocked with all accessories. Weather couldn’t have been any better!!

Glad to hear the Fritz property was the perfect fit for your group, Gordon! The front porch is certainly one of the best aspects of this home to pass the time away. Thank you for renting with us and we hope to see you back again soon! The weather stays mild until about February if you're looking for another Fall trip!

We found the house to be perfect for our needs. The downstairs provides a space for children to play or watch tv separate from the upstairs main area. There is one bedroom that does not have a tv, which would be nice.

My adult kids and I were there for the Ironman 70.3. This is a spacious, well-appointed, clean house in the perfect location. It's right next to the swim start and the bike drop off was within walking distance. We enjoyed strolling on the beach and had a wonderful dinner at the nearby Oceanic. A number of other shops and restaurants were within walking distance. We'll be back and suggest you try it out as well.

What a lovely review from your stay at the Fritz property, Nancy!! We are so excited to hear it served as the perfect rental for your time in Wrightsville, especially the convenient location for the race. There is so much to love about this unit from the proximity to both the beach and channel, the quick walk to the restaurants and shops at the south end, and the very quiet neighborhood around you. We hope when you visit WB again next time that Fritz is at the top of your list!
This was a family trip to celebrate our youngest daughter's graduation from college. The downstairs bedroom arrangement in particular was very helpful for part of our family who have a newborn. They were able to spread out and have privacy and not worry about waking any of the rest of us up. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was adequately stocked. We should have told the rental authorities that the dishwasher was not working well, but if renters don't report that there's no way they would know. The deck was delightful and we spent a lot of our time there. We were able to walk to and from the Oceanic and the beach. Thoughtful touches like a beach cart were a pleasant surprise. We will definitely stay here again!

Donna, we are so thrilled to hear you and your family loved the Fritz unit! Sounds like it ended up being the perfect layout for your group with the downstairs being separate. I appreciate your report of the dishwasher and will send that in to maintenance to look into although we have not heard of any other issues since your stay. The deck is definitely one of the best aspects of this unit, with ample space and seating to unwind and relax in a quiet residential area. Congrats to your daughter on graduating as well, very exciting! We hope you will all visit us again someday soon, you'll always have a place with us! Thank you again, Donna!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
if concerned about roaches, stay away
The house is in a decent location, beds are adequate and there was enough space for our family, BUT we found an enormous dead roach upon entering the place, literally inside the entrance. Then we noticed the bathrooms hadn't really been cleaned because there were hairs in the bathtubs and under the toilet seat. When we called the rental company, they apologized and sent a cleaning team out the next morning and said they'd spray for bugs. The cleaners came and the bathrooms looked much better. The second night, we found another enormous roach, dead by a chair downstairs. The kids were scared to sleep down there because they thought bugs would walk on them at night. I called again but was told it's just "part of being down there and at least they were dead". Seriously. If you spray for bugs and find them inside after several months of service, please understand that you need an exterminator, not just pest management. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Melinda, thank you for the feedback. We hate that you ran into some issues during your stay. We did everything within our power to resolve the issues you ran into. We hate that the cleanliness of the unit did not meet your standards, and we sent cleaners out as soon as possible. Again, water bugs are very common in coastal areas this time of year. This home is under contract with an exterminator and receives regular treatment, and additionally we sprayed again per your request. If there are dead bugs, that means the treatment is working to kill the pests that are unavoidable in our climate. We wish you the best!

We rented Fritz to have a family vacation at Wrightsville Beach, NC. The location was very convenient as it was just one block from the beach and close to pier. The bedroom set up was ideal with a lower level for the kids with their own bathroom. The upper level for the adults. The house was well maintained and very accommodating. If we have the opportunity we would rent the cottage again.

We had a very nice stay at the Fritz. The house is very well situated - close to beach access and to the sound. There were 7 adults and one child. The house isn't large, however it fit our needs and didn't feel too crowded. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was clean. We had one maintenance issue with a drain in the lower level bathroom. They came out right away and fixed it.

Thank you so much for your review from your stay at Fritz, Martha! We are excited to hear you enjoyed your stay at the beach! We have maintenance technicians on call 24/7 should any issues arise during your stay and would have loved the opportunity to check on that dryer for you before you checked out. Our tech inspected the dryer and found it to be working properly so it should not impact future guest stays. I will let maintenance know about the fridge filter and get that replaced. Thank you for choosing to rent with our company and we hope you will choose Fritz for your next getaway!

The house is in a good location, a short walk to the beach. The kitchen is well-stocked. The bedrooms are a good size. The bathrooms are very small. We visited for a weekend, I would not want to spend a week in this house in the summer, mainly because of the size of the bathrooms and small living space. You could barely turn around in the hall bathroom. The management company was very communicative. It was a little annoying to have to sign in or download an app for everything. The house was clean, however, I was surprised that when we arrived we had to make our own beds. I have never rented a place where I had to make my own bed.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023
Glad to hear you all enjoyed your stay at the Fritz property, Rachel! This south end unit is sure to please with the quick walk to the beach or channel, proximity to local restaurants and shops, and the quiet area the home rests in. Sorry to hear you felt the bathrooms were too small for your personal taste. The homeowner frequents the property and puts a lot of love into making it great by completing inventory, carpet cleanings, and maintenance projects regularly. As for the bed making, we halted our bed making services due to COVID to ensure our guests felt comfortable no one else touched their sheets, but are hoping to restart it in the future. We hope you will consider renting Fritz again on your next visit to Wrightsville but should you be more interested in a unit with larger bathrooms we can work with you to find something more your style. Thank you for renting with us, see you next time!

I really liked the house and would definitely stay there again great location! Unfortunately when we arrived for our family vacation the AC was out in the house (things break )and we spent 5 days in a different house which we really didn’t like at all but made the best of it . My suggestion to Bryant Realty would be to have window units on hand to install in a situation like this especially considering how much they fail at the beach , as a landlord for a living this IS what I do for my own properties.
Kevin O.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023
Kevin, we appreciate how understanding and accommodating your family was during that unfortunate situation. We hate to do it but sometimes have to make the difficult decision to bump our guests to another property if the chosen unit is unavailable especially for a required amenity like AC/Heat. The HVAC needed a complete system replacement and thankfully they were able to finish that sooner than expected, allowing you to stay at your intended rental for the remainder of your vacation. Glad to hear you enjoyed Fritz and it's great location on the south end. We do hope you'll choose to visit with us again next time you visit Wrightsville Beach and that it will go a bit smoother this time!
