Lana, we are thrilled to hear you love Blake Cottage as much as we do! The unit just underwent a major renovation with a new deck/stairs and loads of new furniture on the decks to relax in including a hammock! Between the pool, oceanfront views, and cozy interiors it is no wonder you had a wonderful time. Your family is always welcome, be sure to give us a ring next time you visit the area!

Fun family vacation

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: Blake Cottage has a lot of space, beautiful views, and good amenities. We enjoyed the pool immensely. The decor is worn, but the house functions well for a group.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Jun 2021
Susan, it's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed Blake Cottage and all of its amenities! The pool is a huge plus since it's not common to find beach homes on the island with a private pool. It is serviced weekly during the summer to ensure it's in tip top shape for renters. I will make note about your feedback on the décor and pass along to the owner. She did just replace all of the decks on all levels of the house which took half the year to complete so updates may be delayed for a bit after that large upgrade project. We would love to host your family again next time you visit Wrightsville, and thank you for choosing to rent with our company!

Found one of the prettiest beaches on the East coast

Besides an A+ location this property has character as well as all the modern upgrades. All utilities functioned well. We loved the fact that the upstairs has a large Mater Bedroom, beautiful wrap around porch, large kitchen and dual sectional couches. $ more bedrooms are just below allowing for privacy and noise control. Having the pool is a huge plus becomes sometimes you just need to relax.

Empty nesters head to the beach

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent location. Nicely appointed and laid out. Hot tub and pool were clean. Only downside was the bait and switch feeling of having to pay for linens. Just include the expense in the initial offering.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
So glad you enjoyed your stay! Our property descriptions highlight linens are not included on short stays. There is a fixed cost associated with this and the owner absorbs it on longer stays, however, we are currently working to have this fixed cost show up before booking for short stays to alleviate this concern. Our hope had been to keep cost low on the short stays so you only get the linens you need. However, once this switch is made, all linens will be provided on all stays.

Great girls weekend getaway!

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 house was beautiful! Great oceanfront location and a quick walk to bars and restaurants. We had a group of 10 and there was more than enough room! We were very comfortable. The only way you can get from the top floor to the bottom floor is from walking outside or taking the elevator. Both are easy but we did not realize prior to arrival that there were no interior stairs. The house was very clean! The kitchen had everything you need to make meals at home!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got off to a ruff start after checking in.

Good time

We had my wife’s family down for her 40th birthday. Found this house and looked amazing with amazing views. We all had a great time celebrating her bday. Nice clean hot tub and pool, just on the other side of the dunes from the ocean. My only complaint was that the elevator did not work and there are not interior stairs to get from one floor to the other. So you had to go outside and up the steps to the kitchen floor. When it was raining a little more irritating. A little info on that from the management company would have been great. They did mention the elevator not working, but not having interior stairs, I feel should have been addressed.

IN NEED OF UPDATES!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Looks great from the outside but the inside is need of updates! Not what we were expecting for a beachfront property. Also, we were told after we arrived that the pool and hot tub are serviced on Wednesdays so if you arrive on the weekend, don't expect it to be clean. The hot tub was disgusting! There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and the shower knob in the master bedroom was broken. We had a day and a half of noise from the lawn service trimming the hedges/shrubs. And if that weren't enough, they wanted to bring in pest control which we strongly objected to. Bryant Real Estate was apologetic but wasn't willing to do anything for us except fix the shower knob. They seemed to put the blame on the owners for our issues. Needless to say our three day vacation was anything but relaxing.

Sarah, I'm thrilled to hear you and your family had a wonderful stay at the Blake Cottage property! Happy to hear it was really clean for you - we definitely hold our cleaners to high standards, and the property is then cleared by an inspector to ensure cleanliness. I will absolutely make note about your suggestion for more rocking chairs! The owners are rebuilding all the decks/porches at the property this off season, so this may be a possibility.
