About this property

Pet Friendly Duplex Across from Crystal Pier

Looking for an economical and pet friendly vacation spot on Wrightsville Beach? Here it is!

“Craft Upper” is a classic Wrightsville Beach 1940’s style top floor unit within a duplex. In a great location, positioned just across the street from the Oceanic Restaurant, Crystal Pier, and is only steps to the nearby public beach and sound accesses. The covered front porch is perfect for people watching, outdoor dining, or relaxing while taking in the salt air.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit is all about spending quality time with family at the beach. Despite the traditional configuration of the home, the living room, dining area, and kitchen offer plenty of space for families to spread out while keeping everyone together with a somewhat open concept. This home has everything you need for a beach getaway without all the frills and unnecessary clutter.

The kitchen is functional and well equipped for preparing meals but there is not a dishwasher included among the appliances provided. A side door off the kitchen gives easy access to the outdoor deck and living space. The kitchen and dining area are combined, making for a wonderful gathering space to share home cooked meals that has helped families reconnect and make memories for generations.

The primary bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed, large closet, and private bathroom. There is another guest room with a full bed that shares the hall bathroom with the twin bedroom. The hall bathroom has a stackable washer and dryer for added convenience.

For larger family gatherings, rent the W154 “Craft Lower” unit which is directly below for a total of 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - contact Bryant directly for details.

One of the most lovely, quaint, and affordable cottages in one of the most amazing locations at Wrightsville Beach. Perfect front porch. Beautiful, rugged pine floors and cozy rooms. We surfed 2 mornings in a row in near Crystal Pier. We will hopefully rent this cottage again.

First trip to the beach with the dog. Many places in the area very dog-friendly, hoping to bring her back in off-season when dogs are permitted on the beach. Accommodations were quaint with lots of character and perfect for sharing with our young-adult children.

Great Family Beach getaway

This property was spacious and clean — I could smell bleach cleaner when I first opened the door. The paint and floors could use a little freshening up but the beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room. We had an issue with the washing machine during our stay and Bryant responded quickly to get it resolved

Though the closeness to the beach was real good, we thought the house was in need of some upkeep and repair (ceiling in living room is peeling off, strong moldy smell and pretty much everything needs some paint). No mention that there is no dishwasher.

Surfer shack

This property is well located by Wrightsville’s south end surfing community by the Oceanic restaurant and pier. However, the unit needs some major renovations. And while the layout and room sizes are great, it’s hard to get by all the things that need fixing or replacing. No cleaning supplies or trash bags provided? Poorly stocked kitchen. Furniture is well worn and stained. Bed comfort: fair. Great place if you want to be close to the beach and good waves. Not so much for a family vacation.

Sharon, we are so sorry to hear you did not enjoy the Craft property during your visit to Wrightsville Beach. It is very important to us to advertise honestly and feel the photos demonstrate the home accurately as well as the description mentioning the home is an economical and classic 1940s home. Craft is loved by many return vacationers each year who appreciate the original Wrightsville cottages for that rustic charm. The owner is planning for some major upgrades this off season possibly replacing the living room furniture and much more. The lower unit just had all new flooring installed so if you enjoyed the location and coziness of the cottage, that may be an option for your next getaway. We will update the photos on the website once upgrades have been made to the upper unit so keep an eye out for those! Hope to see you back next time.

The unit was clean & spacious although the A/C vents were black. There was concern that it could have been mold. Limited parking for the unit. During our stay, someone was moving into the downstairs unit. His moving van & vehicle occupied 3 of the 4 parking spaces. Location is great being close to the beach. The road was a little busy and getting in & out was challenging.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the property or location. Many people enjoy the convenience of the location and proximity to the Crystal pier. Perhaps contacting our office directly in the future would be advisable before booking a vacation rental. Our agents have a wonderful knowledge of our inventory and can direct you to a home tucked away on a side street with more privacy if this quality is important for the overall enjoyment of your stay. While we were unaware of any cleanliness issues during your stay, we apologize you were unhappy with the home. We will be glad to look into your report and coordinate any necessary actions with the homeowner. Thank you for choosing Bryant Real Estate and we hope to see you again soon!

2 day beach stay

House was ok, better on the outside than inside and it was close to the ocean and oceanic restaurant. The inside of the house was roomy but I could tell there had been previous Pets in the residence due to the cleanliness of the rugs. They were stained so we rolled them all up for our stay until we left. For the location I expected a little more. Did not like that we had to make our own beds when we arrived either. Not really a thing I wanted to do on a vacation. Also never got our email letting us know our itinerary, so when we arrived we didnt have passcode, couldnt get anyone to answer our calls to get help, luckily the information was in past emails so we could get in. Love the area but will not be going back to this vrbo. Thanks.

Hi John, glad to hear you enjoyed the house & its location! I am sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the home - we hold our cleaners to a high standard and I hate to hear that standard was not upheld. I also am sorry to hear you were not satisfied in our communication either, I do see that for some reason our software did not send out your automated check-in instruction email. I can dig into that further, but we have since changed rental software to prevent this from happening in the future. Again, I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and wish you the best!
