We had a multi generational gathering for a UNCW graduation. The townhouse was centrally located and convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, beach and university. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee maker, pots & pans, and utensils. There were plenty of towels and extra sheets.

Keith was disappointed that the condo wasn't on the beach. I explained that "two miles to tides" was not deceptive, the property description clearly stated it was two miles to the beach and that was the reason he wasn't paying $700 per night in season. I also comped him one night for his misunderstanding.

The host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was one of the most well equipped kitchens we’ve experienced. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding at the Wrightsville Manor. This location was perfect for the venue and the beach.
