This property had the best view for sunsets!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!! Great location!!
Our family had the best time at the Harbor view . The location was great , sunsets gorgeous, and the house was immaculate!!!! We will definitely stay here again!!!!
We wanted a great sunset view and this place was perfect for that. The porch is big and had lots of furniture. The house was a great size and was in a great location to walk north to shops or south for a little longer walk to Oceanic. However, It could have been cleaned a little better with a lot of dust, dirt on the floors, and gnats that we haven’t experienced on the beach. I think this place was worth the price and we would stay again.

The reservationists were not very responsive. I asked for an early check-in by emailing and I had to all in order to get a response. The reservationinsts were nice, but not the most helpful people.
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 3, 2020
So sorry she had some difficulty. Our reservationists did respond, we just unfortunately go to spam folders. I hope she enjoyed her stay, we will look forward to having her again.
Really enjoyed this property and how well appointed it was and nicely decorated as well as nice furniture- something that is hit or miss in rentals. We had an extended stay for a few weeks of work while at beach and vacation and we loved it!

Reviewer Comments:
Loved the location and place. One thing I would suggest is a grill as there was not one at the rental.
We loved this house!! We enjoyed a friend weekend on Wrightsville Beach and thought the location was perfect. This house is a short walk to the beach, coffee shops and Tower 7. We loved turning off the AC and enjoying the nice beach breeze throughout the house. We also enjoyed many meals on the porch taking in the beautiful view. It really was the perfect group house. My only complaint is the check-in/check out process. It was the first house that I've rented in several years that required me to stop and pick up an actual key. It's such a modern house, that I'd expected a keypad. I also find keypads are easier for group travel. When leaving, you have to stop back by the office and drop off the key, but the office is on your way off the beach. That said, the check-in / checkout process won't stop us from renting this place again. Overall, it was a gem!!

A beautiful view of the bay and sunsets. A very simple & short walk to the beach. We were there due to a family death, the house accommodated our family (all from out of town) dinners without any problem. Only issue is the HVAC quit working mid-week. We'd definitely rend it again!

Had a wonderful Fall week with family and friends. The sunsets each night were nothing short of amazing. Having use of the dock with boat lift was great for storing boat after fishing. House and kitchen had everything we needed to just sit back and relax. Thank you to the owners for sharing the house with us and the Intracoastal Staff for making our stay one to remember.

This is an older property-no recent upgrades. The location makes up for that! Wonderful harbor views with a dock and a side ocean view. Close walkway to the beach next to the Blockade Runner. It's an upper unit of a duplex-we found the lower level owners to be very nice. Be sure to use the stairway- Lumina oceanside-located in the laundry room-it keeps you from interfering with the downstairs neighbors on their deck. Would rent again.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was great and the view was spectacular. I came down for the week with my girlfriend and it was a large residence for just the two of us but we enjoyed the open space. The top deck is amazing for a cup of coffee and especially for an evening cocktail as there is no better place to watch the sunset on the island than here since the sun sets over Dockside in the distance. I did not bring my boat down like i originally intended but the dock was nice and boat lift worked however there was no room to pull a boat up and tie it to the dock. You either have to lift the boat or anchor it if the tide is low. The condition of the house was great although the sofas are a bit older. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and we were able to cook with plenty of space. All in all, this is a great 3 bedroom place with a spectacular view. The center of the action (famous beach bars, Robert's Grocery, Tower 7, Sweetwater Surf Shop) is a short walk or bike ride (they have 2 bikes at the house which was not advertised at all) which make this a great stay and I will be back.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was comfortable, clean and has wonderful views. The only negative comment that I would add is regarding the kitchen and cooking utensils. It's definitely not a "cook's kitchen" as the kitchen is very small and very limited on eating utensils. (only 6 dinner forks and 3 teaspoons). Also the dishwasher did not clean very well, I had to handwash many things once I emptied it.

9/30 I hate to hear that this guest had concerns with their stay. We didn't hear from them while they were here, otherwise we would have happily resolved any issues they were having. We will ensure the cleaners do a more thorough job and clean any items that are in need. Thank you for letting us know your issues. CMM

Stayed there before. Great location, great home... unfortunately the boat lift was broken and we chose this property for that reason as we trailered a fishing boat. Gave us a small refund, but no other solution which is the ONLY reason we book this property. It made for an inconvient weekend, especially with kids. Was told on Friday afternoon that the boat lift motor couldn't be fixed during the time we were there. Disappointing to say the least.
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 3, 2020
9/16 We are sorry this guest had issues with the boat lift. We unfortunately could not get someone out during their stay to make the repair, since it is such a specialized business it can be difficult to get an immediate repair. We hope they still enjoyed their stay, and we did reimburse them for their inconvenience. We hope to have them again and show them a better stay. CMM

This place has the best stocked kitchen I've ever experienced in a rental. The only down side to that is there is very little room to store your food. There were also some beach chairs and 2 bikes available for use in the storage room downstairs. The beds were great quality which is also hard to find in a rental. The layout of the place is great with everything on one level including a large laundry area. I enjoyed having the sound view and easy access to the beach.
