It was a delightful surprise. Easy walk to the beach. The condo literally comes with EVERYTHING you could ever need. The management company even had welcome kits, which were amazing and super helpful. It was clean, great location. Loved it. My ONLY suggestion is to have a way to separate the deck space so we could sit out with the dogs. We did get to meet the family that was renting next door and they were also there for UNCW family weekend. We will definitely stay again.

Great beach week with family

We enjoyed our stay. Home was exactly as advertised. Great location to the beach. Property management was communicative and helpful. We had a broken coffeemaker situation that was fixed same day and a stove shut off in the middle of our stay, but I texted and someone from their team immediately called me and walked me through the breaker process. My four hungry kids were very thankful for their prompt response. We would definitely stay here again.

It was everything the listing described. Communication from the host group was outstanding! We didn't have any issues, but they communicated with us just the right amount of times and we knew if we had any problems/concerns they would be addressed professionally. Key reasons we chose this place were: pet friendliness, quiet location, beach access, and inclusion of linens and beach towels. The bonus was the storage room with bikes and beach chairs as well as other beach friendly items. Everything was well taken care of and having shared access to the laundry facilities was pretty nice too. Great views!

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: This is a simple, 'old school' cottage. Wonderful fit for us. Brought back fine memories of being at Wrightsville 50-60 years ago. Thank goodness such a place still remains. Definitely will return. Sea Scape Properties gave excellent attention. 1 Recommendation: Dish washer needs be more secure.

Seaview Unit A October 9-13 2015

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our needs. It was well stocked with basic necessities. I think this is more suited for a family of 4, any more than that might have issues with only one bathroom. Also, the distance to the beach was a bit deceiving as we thought we would have direct access. Instead we had to walk down to the public beach access to get to the beach which was a bit out of the way.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
The house is advertised as "ocean view" which is different than an oceanfront house. During the summer, there is a more distinct path leading from our property to the beach without having to walk around to the public access. After the summer traffic dies down, the path gets overgrown with natural beach growth, but is still accessible. We have alerted our landscapers to pay closer attention to the pathway on our property, but we cannot maintain the neighboring properties that separate us from the beach. It's is pretty quick way to the beach, but maybe not for older people or those with other limitations.

Great Getaway for my Three Daughters and Me

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: My girls (ages 10, 8 and 4) and I spent four days in this unit and will definitely reserve again! I am super picky about cleanliness and it was smelled so clean when we first walked in. The owners have thought of everything from beach chairs, to umbrella, beach cart, boogie boards, coffee pot, high chair, pack and play and more. We had plenty of towels and linens. You literally could just pack your car with clothes and food and have everything you need in the unit! Since there is only one bathroom I think it would be hard to have more than four people stay in the unit but it would hold up to seven adults (although, two adults would have to sleep on the Full/Queen sleeper sofa which was actually very uncomfortable). Overall the location was great (just steps to the beach), it was so clean and had all of the amenities you would need for a great getaway!

Clough vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon check in I inspected the place and the bathroom was filthy. Bathtub not cleaned and there was a dead cockroach the size of scorpion in the tub. I called property management and they said nothing. Did not apologize or offer to haver someone come and clean it. Also, there was only one roll of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels. No outside lights in the front so you could not see at nite when you came in. Not enough privacy for a duplex. Shared staircase to the back deck. Would not rent this property again

We greatly apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay - it is in no way how we do business. We take great pride in the cleanliness of our homes. Apparently, this home was not properly inspected before check-in. We hope you choose to stay with us again in the future.

Love Wrightsville Beach

Great accommodations and location! Very clean, comfy and fully equip kitchen. Love that it’s dog friendly. I would have liked a gate partition to separate the back porch so the dogs don’t wonder off to the next unit. Two cottages away from the beach. I didn’t like that a huge commercial hotel was near by the property and was undergoing outdoor repairs… but just ignore that! Restaurants were in walkable distance and if you need a break from this awesome relaxation, 5 minutes away is Wilmington’s huge shopping centers. Shell Island Wrightsville has been our GO TO PLACE for many years now. I wished I had rented this cottage sooner.

Thanksgiving isolation

Perfect for a small Thanksgiving getaway during a pandemic. They even left me new potholders and disposable roaster to cook my Turkey. Easy access to beach and bikes were perfect to get around.
