My daughter and husband live in Wilmington. Since they always come home to San Diego, we decided to visit them Labor Day Weekend 2023. While only 4 of us stayed in the house (the parents of the other 4 recently married couples), there were 12 of us throughout the day, and through dinner.The place was excellent, and I'd definitely stay again! In fact, we're already talking about LD 2024!The boat dock worked perfectly, and the proximity to both the I/C and the beach was impressive.I would give it 5 stars.My only knock, is that there was not a supply of garbage bags, there was only 1 roll of TP per bathroom, and upon arrival the beds were not made (linens were provided in a sanitary fashion). Once we figured that out, it was no big deal.

Missing light bulbs
Labels on shower doors incorrect
Kitchen not organized and drawers cabinets not very clean. Or too much of a problem for us as we ate most meals out.
Layout of house was great.
Walls had lots of picture hooks that looked like someone had recently stripped the home and perhaps new owners had hurriedly rented it
We enjoyed the porch overlooking the sound

We have rented this unit for nearly 10 years. It is showing it’s age. The common areas were dirty and worn. Kitchen appliances appear original to the unit. The in door ice and water don’t work and when we tried to use them it tripped the circuit so the fridge was off. Additionally when operating the fridge doesn’t cool efficiently. The stove barely works and the light and exhaust over the stove don’t work at all. The dishwasher is not great. The wifi is horrific. It doesn’t work in the beach rooms. The master shower faucet needs to be replaced. The furniture is dated and, in some cases, broken. We love the size, layout and location of this property. We rented a larger unit last year to accommodate more people. It was new and beautiful but we prefer this unit. It needs a refresh and a mesh to extend the wifi but the size, layout and location cannot be beat.

This house was in a great location! I would give the outdoor space & deck 5 stars. The dock is shared with the other unit, but that seemed to work out ok. Easy access to beach as well!
Keep in mind that bars are just outside so it is loud(er) overnight on certain days of the week. There are some small things that could be done inside to make it nicer (i.e old nails & wall hanging hardware hanging out of walls, towel rack hanging off in guest bath). Primary living space is comfortable & spacious. The driveway is tight & can be difficult if you have a large SUV.

Property manage was ontop of any concerns and questions. The condo was great layout and loved the very large covered deck. The condition of the condo itself needs significant repairs and updating. Many holes in walls where pictures were and not patched. Bedspreads are dirty. Many old bed linens in closets on floors dirty linens stuffed in cabinets.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was in an average location (adjacent to a bar parking lot, but, in general was not well maintained. Upon arrival at the property, it appeared be cleaning crew was rushing out. Upon entry to the bottom unit, it was obvious the property needed repairs. Garage door framing was damaged, drawers missing in kitchen, shelving misaligned in living room. Numerous light bulbs burned out, flooring/rugs needed sweeping/vacuuming, linens dirty and master bedroom comforter soiled. Had to purchase mattress topper to tolerate the overly firm MBR mattress. AC return air vents were dirty with dust and mold. The rental agency is not 24 hrs so you get answering machine when you call with problems. However, management company came on site, the next week day to make a few corrections. Fan remotes operated fans in numerous other rooms - if you tried to turn out light in one room, it turned on a light in another room - frequencies need changing. The kitchen is not well organized or stocked - not enough utensils, no sheet pans or enough pots/pans for any cooking or food prep. Dishwasher drain is laden with rotten food and would not clean dishes properly. Dishes in cabinets and drawers were dirty. Bathroom mirrors and vanities were not well cleaned. No broom or dust pan or access to vacuum up any sand or spills. Recommend thorough maintenance and updates throughout the property to justify the weekly price.

The location is awesome. You have a very short walk to EVERYTHING - the beach, Robert's Grocery (aka Bob's), Jerry Allens, Neptunes, Lagerheads, Tower 7, Jimmy's, South Beach Grill, Trolly Stop, Vito's Pizza, and the ice cream place. The house was clean and very nice. The kitchen, living room, and outside deck are all very large so nobody is ever cramped. The view is really good, but if they'd cut down the palm tree it would make the view amazing. Paige at Wrightsville Sands was great to work with. We didn't have any issues, so I can't speak to that, but she was very responsive to lease process and any of my questions. We've rented other houses where you have one side with multiple levels (like the entire right or left side of the house), but we prefer the one level layout of this one as you have more overall usable room in the common areas. Our group had no problems sleeping on the same level as the common areas. Less stairs to climb too. We could hear the people that rented the upstairs level some, but it wasn't a problem for our group. We'll definitely stay here again.

We had to make our beds upon arrival. Did not appreciate that.Back side of house, there is a parking lot and then 2 bars. Very noisy and woke us up twice even with windows closed and AC on. A lot of illumination too from the road and bars.Loved the deck and view. Really enjoyed that. Convenient to everything but 3 or 4 houses further down would have been more peaceful.No oils or spices AT ALL! You need to bring everything you need if you plan to cook anything. Limited kitchen supplies. Super small driveway. Parking a GMC crew cab Sierra was very difficult to park OFF the street.Various lights were blown out and needed replacement. Doors and keys were difficult to use. Booking was convoluted. Booked online then had to re-do cc info via phone.

I went there with my family and 2 young girls. This really is a great property with a fantastic location. I would never get sick of the views of the sound and the beautiful palm tree, especially in the afternoons and evening at sunset. The master bedroom and bathroom over look the parking lot for a bar, so was a little noisy at night, but not too bad. Real close to the beach, restaraunts. Loved the market across the street. Property was clean. Only minor complaints, no batteries in the remotes, few lightbulbs were out. I would definitely recommend this property.

We rent this property every year. We love the location on the sound and the access to the bars and restaurants of Wrightsville Beach. We’ve rented both units over the years depending on our crowd size and love them both. The unit is a great size. One thing to note is that after all these years it is time for new beds and a general update to the furnishings and appliances. Don’t let that put you off the property, however. It is still great. The dock and into the sound has a covered seating area that is magical and the porch on the back of the house is large. Perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails.

FILTHY Dirty
This home had clearly not been cleaned when we arrived. I had to spend almost a full day of my vacation cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, all of which were disgusting. Both trash containers outside were overflowing with trash when we checked in and trash day was still four days away, so we had to endure the stench every time we left the house or went to the beach. I sent a message to the property manager and the response I got TWO days later seemed obligatory and insincere. The location was convenient and the home was nice, but the kitchen definitely lacked items for cooking and serving, so if you expect to cook and/or entertain here, I'd look elsewhere. It didn't really bother us, but there were guests upstairs and you could hear every footstep and it got quite noisy at times. We come to Wrightsville Beach a few times each year and we made this reservation at the last minute. It makes total sense now why it was the only place still available.

Location was perfect!
This property was very clean and has the best location. The downside is some of the items in the interior of the house need some work (king bed in hallway room needs to be replaced, ceiling fan remote in same room didn't work, lightbulbs need to be replaced and kitchen items are lean --- no wine glasses for instance). The other thing is the place is a shared duplex so the above neighbor and their guests walk by you when you are on the deck and you share the yard/pier, etc.

Nice layout.
The house is very pretty, sitting on directly on the inter-coastal. But, there are many doors to get into the house and all of the locks need to be replaced. They are very hard to manage. I understand they are hurricane locks due to sand, climate etc., but they seem to have reached their live expectancy. The lock on the back door, to the covered porch, was especially troublesome. It was almost impossible to open and the handle actually kept falling off completely. Therefore, we did not use the back porch as frequent as we would have (missing out on the main attraction, the water view). The shower heads need to be replaced, the water barely trickles out. There was a fight in the bar, that is a few minutes walk away, that woke me up at 1:30AM and proceeded for an hour or so. Other than that, the house is laid out very nicely, is decorated pretty and is very close to the restuarants and beach,

So much fun for kids and adults. Swim and fish off dock plus very short walk to beach. Also easy walk to restaurants, ice cream, groceries, bars. All the amenities as described. Beautiful deck overlooking the waterway with lots of seating and endless breezes. The house could use some minor repairs and updating, but I would definitely recommend and stay there again!! Very responsive maintenance. The best location on Wrightsville Beach! The whole family had so much fun.
