Great to hear your family enjoyed your stay at the Enoch cottage, Michelle! This unit is center stage for the famous WB sunsets and offers wonderful views of the channel. The owners have made some upgrades such as a new refrigerator in August and are always working on the property to keep it in great condition without losing all that old-school charm. Thank you for choosing to rent with our company and we look forward to your return!

Fishing and cards

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was great but I was very dismayed to hear that the person downstairs complained that we were noisy. We are just two families fishing, swimming, and playing cards. I have never had any kind of complaint about us being noisy before. We have stayed at this property in the past. I would have picked a bigger (and more expensive) property but only this one was left. Overall it is adequate with an amazing pier

Perfect location

Our visit was short but we enjoyed the south end location of the rental. Gorgeous sunset and views of the sound. Quick, easy walk to the beach, Oceanic, surf and coffee shop. My crew enjoyed their winter surfing near the pier. Lots of beds for our kids and their friends. The house is dated but has a lot of character. The only issue we had was with the microwave which was very old and was not functional. Besides replacing the microwave the only suggestion would be a few more starter items for the kitchen such as dish detergent, a Brillo pads and additional wash rags and dish clothes. Maybe a couple trash bags too. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Hi Wendy! Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay!

BBQ and Seafood

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bryant Realty booking was easy with on-line booking, prompt responses to emails, late check-in and early check-out. Loved the retro beach house...the best of the original '40s cottage with modern conveniences, cable, wi-fi. Loved sitting on the porch in rocking chairs watching beautiful sunsets every night. Channel-front with access to a private pier and beach, quick walk to the ocean beach, short drive to outstanding BBQ restaurants, grocery, fresh seafood, and historic sights. Lots to do in nearby Wilmington. Shopping at Cotton Exchange, historic Downtown and port. Only negative was the traffic noise but we will definitely come back.

Nice house--but pitiful cable TV

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice weekend and house. Cable has local channels only. No ESPN, CNN, TBS, TNT, Golf Channel--nothing except local access and ABC/CBS/NBC. Home has been updated and bathrooms are very nice. Great use of beds. Be mindful of parking as you can only manage 3 autos--but it is handled well by agency. Cable issue is huge and we felt misled--homeowner and agency should have appeased us.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 May 2022
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the updated bathrooms and the amazing location. We are impressed that you were able to manage 3 autos, the listing specifically states there is only room for 2 :). We apologize you did not enjoy the cable that is provided in this home and that it had such a detrimental impact on your vacation. We have spoken with the owner and we are pleased to report that she is increasing the cable package. However, we would recommend that if you have specific programming request that you want to ensure your vacation home has, please contact our office and we can provide detailed information of what channels may or may not be provided in which homes. In the meantime, thank you for the feedback and we are glad the property will have a larger cable package for the next guest!

Read the fine print

Enjoyed the historic nature of the property. Be advised not to have anyone up on the porch with a dog. Received a phone call on our last night that a neighbor reported we had dogs “in the house”. Porch yes- house never! My son had come to the beach all day with us and was not staying with us. The charge was already on my card when I hung up the phone. Had to go to the office the next day to make my case and request the charge be reversed. Rental Co. Was very fair and kind and made a plea to the owners. Waited two days to hear that the $900 had been returned. Needless to say- our trip memories were tainted.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 3 December 2023
Lori, thank you for the feedback. We hate that you had an unfortunate experience with us. During your stay, a neighbor notified the property owners of pets. We acted upon the wishes of the property owner and immediately issued the charge for violating the rental agreement. Upon investigating, we informed the property owners know there was no evidence of pets inside the unit, and they agreed to have us reverse the charges. We hate that this situation occurred, but at the end of the day our primary responsibility lies in protecting the investments of our property owners and we have to act upon their wishes. We hate that this tainted our memories, but hope that the resolution was acceptable.

Great Beach Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is very cute, plenty of beds, with 3 in one room upstairs, and 2 across the hall and a master on the first floor. Bathrooms obviously recently redone very nicely. Generous porch with great view of the Sound and the dock for our use across the street. Being close to beach access made it super easy to take the kids down each day. Not a ton of privacy so be sure to use for a close friends/family experience.

Great location! Love the porch and dock!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place to stay! 5 of us took a girls’ trip and it was just the right size. We’d recommend a few more rocking chairs on the front porch, as well as some furniture added to the dock area. Those two places were such fun locations to relax, drink cocktails, and talk! We called about an issue with the AC unit and within an hour, it was fixed. We were so happy with this vacation home and would love to visit again soon! Highly recommend this house to others!

Parking is an issue

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house overall is nice, a little dated. It has a great pier and dock. Parking is very difficult if you have more than 2 vehicles. I had to pay an extra $125 in parking for one of the people staying at the house so they could park on the street at the meter. I think it should also be disclosed that there is a person that lives un the space under the main house. If you think you are getting the entire house you are not, and you do not have access to the garage. I would opt for a better location and house with more parking.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 May 2021
Hi Frank, thank you for your review and feedback. The home is an older cottage but is excellently maintained and kept up with by the property owners. They are down regularly to spruce up the home. On the website, you can see in the description it says "parking allows two cars, one parking spot beside the home, and one additional parking spot across the street with parking pass. Guests do NOT have access to the garage." You could always park the third car off the island and use the other cars to shuttle back to that one if it's needed! Additionally on the unit page, it says "this property is a family friendly unit in a residential area that has a year round tenant in the lower unit" so I think our advertising was quite clear on expectations - sorry if you missed that! Give us a call next time before you book and we can definitely pair you with another unit that is a bit newer or more upgraded, we certainly have a bunch in that area! Thanks again!

House was nice but neighbor, not so much. Wouldn't recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage was exactly as described. I have nothing but good things to say about the property itself. The cottage was clean and insect-free, and plenty of room for my family. HOWEVER, the downstairs tenant was what made our stay unpleasant. After reporting to the rental company about smoke smells that appeared overnight and permeated the upstairs bedroom and made the whole downstairs smell (older cottages aren't as well insulated), he came up the next evening and complained that we were making too much noise (we are a family - no partying) and then coincidentally a police officer was parked out front of our cottage for an hour or two. It felt like retaliation. I was humiliated and disappointed. If you are looking for a private house, I suggest you look for another rental.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2022
Hello, Ms. Bowyer, and thank you for your feedback. Please know that we take your summary on this matter very seriously and have reached out to the tenant in question as well as the manager for the long-term rental below our Enoch rental. All of our properties are non-smoking with a zero-tolerance policy. We also take to heart your frustration and discomfort with a confrontation with the tenant in question; I can imagine how upsetting that must have been. Again, we want to assure you that every possible action has been taken to correct this unpleasantness and prevent it in the future, and to the extent that we are able we apologize for your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the Enoch house overall and hope you had an excellent beach vacation!

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the house was great. Very clean, large bedrooms. Great view of the waterway. Pier and gazebo are new. Only negative is that dock area for boat is very small and climbing down from gazebo area to dock is hazardous; especially at low tide.
