Perfect Property

My family and I stayed at the Ocean Escape for my daughter’s graduation at UNCW. The property was perfect. It was exactly as described and has everything we needed for our 5 nights. Communication with the property manager was excellent and check-in and out was flawless. The elevator was perfect for my elderly father who was able to join us for the celebration. The location is perfect. The beds were comfortable and the unit was clean. Everything you could ask for. I would definitely recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great location but could have been cleaner. As advertised, we were steps away from the beach which was great. The house was overall nice but we were disappointed with the cleanliness of it. There was dog pee on stairs on the carpet, mold in the showers, balls of hair and dust in the closets and worse of all ants crawling out of an outlet in the kitchen! The management company was very responsive to our issues. My daughter almost fell out of the unsteady highchair so they promptly brought another one. There was only 1 baby gate provide for 5 areas that needed gates but they did bring over a few new gates quickly, which were not the best gates but provided minimal protection.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental was perfect! Our daughter was getting married so we rented this place to accommodate our family and friends. Salty Dog had everything we needed. I liked the fact that it had 3 floors, and let each guest have privacy space. We grilled on the deck several times including New Years Day. We will rent this place again.

Proximity to ocean FANTASTIC

The first night impossible to sleep even w/ AC on and windows closed. Party next door & very early party prep for a huge road race. Cooking at home was not easy. Dishwasher never worked. Even after repair. Ancient coffee machine was quickly replaced by a Mr. Coffee. Washer/dryer extremely noisy . Due to be serviced. Otherwise the house was fine. Love Wrightsville Beach.

not what i expected

In our opinion we were disappointed in condition of the place, stained rugs, peeling paint, One of 2 large burners on the stove did not work, was promised maintenance first thing in the morning, took all day for them to come out and it was not repairable. The lock did not work on arrival. The bbq grill was rusted and disgusting . for a 4 br place the cooking supplies were inadequate. The largest fry pan was 10 inches and the surface was such it made it impossible to fry an egg. The toaster was falling apart and temperamental. The smallest soup/salad bowl was way too big for that purpose. It was difficult to see what was "newly renovated"

Observations & suggestions

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We asked for early check-in and were told it was a possibility as the people before us left early....didn't happen. There were coffee grounds in the coffee pot when we got there. There was excessive dog hair on master bedroom bedspread. Bath mats are needed for getting out of a wet shower/bath. Broom and dustpan are recommended to sweep up sand during week. Hot pads are needed for getting things out of oven. There was no hose outside for washing off sand as specified on house rules, only a spigot. Had a few problems breaker for Refrig and A/c, the maintenance people were very good with taking care of it immediately. House was convenient to beach and town. Would rent again.

Thank you for your suggestions! We apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. It is common practice for us to complete a pre-check in inspection before guests arrive to make sure everything is in order, but when our inspector arrived at the home, some of your party had already arrived and was told an inspection was not necessary. We are pleased to hear our maintenance crew was able to resolve the other issues quickly. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Couldn’t get in the House! Waited an hour and no call.

Emailed the company the day before to confirm Code. Arrived with family and dogs and code didn’t work. Called a few times and no Answer. Finally got someone on the phone. She said she would text immediately to get new called. Waited and waited and called management company again. Said issue had not been escaped, so I waited an hour without any help. Had to sue the neighbors bathroom so they weren’t happy. Paid almost $8000 to start the vacation off like this! Asked for a refund and a call. Never got a call. Finally did last week after reaching out again and still no compensation/response. Also, Cabinets were chipping etc. Pictures make it look nicer. Location is great though.

Fantastic location

Booked for spring break with my in-laws and their children, 8 total people and and our dog, this rental had more than enough room for all of us to spread out. Each room having its own bathroom was helpful and the location, right off of the public access, the Loop, Johnny Mercer’s pier and walking distance to great restaurants, was absolutely perfect.

Holiday Retreat

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: After a very challenging year on numerous fronts, the Salty Dog provided the perfect retreat for our family to spend some quality time together. The location was absolutely perfect and was minutes from the beach. We were able to enjoy the beauty of the ocean and some spectacular sunrises on the beach as well as from the decks of the property. Also, it was perfect for walking-so close to the Wrightsville Loop and to town. Our dogs loved it! A wide variety of restaurants, grocery stores and shops were a short drive away. The location was ideal! The property itself was exactly as described. It was very clean and well maintained. The furnishings were beautiful and the layout was ideal for families to enjoy activities together but yet have the privacy of individual bedrooms with attached bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable and the closets were large, providing excellent storage. The kitchen was well equipped with a wide variety of the necessary essentials. An added bonus were the bikes and beach essentials. The elevator made it so convenient for transporting luggage and groceries. Property Management was the best-both during booking and after we arrived. Tracy was fantastic and was available fir every need. I would highly recommend this property and management company to friends and family. Our visit to the Salty Dog made our Christmas and New Years very special!

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: We really enjoyed staying at Salty Dog for our recent fall getaway. The house is very comfortable and well-stocked (kitchenware, towels, etc.). Bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards and other necessary fun items are also supplied. Very convenient location - cottage is 1 minute walk to the beach (if you walk really slowly) - can easily hear the waves while sitting on the decks. 1 block from N Lumina which gives you direct access to the “The Loop” (~2.5 mile walk around Wrightsville Beach) and 10 minute walk (or 3 minute ride) over the Banks Channel to kayak & paddleboard rentals.Dog-friendly property which was also key for us.SeaScape Realty folks were extremely helpful from start to finish, including prompt & efficient handling of a minor repair issue during our visit.Would definitely stay here again!
