Wonderful

Listing is as advertised, great location, nice big deck for hanging out at night, nice short walk through the dunes to the beach. We did not use the detached ground floor bedrooms and opted for squeezing all the kids and adults into the 3 bedrooms on the main floor.Great experience, would recommend!

The Mason cottage provided all of the necessary amenities, plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen supplies. We love the outside decking areas everything was very family oriented. We had to clean out some areas that Food was drawing ants and then had to deal with ants in the kitchen I would suggest having bins to put food in and storage bags to prevent the ant situation from starting

Great Location
This is listed as a five bedroom five bath house. Two of the bedrooms are in the basement and are Rough. I would not want to sleep down there. You have to go through unfinished areas to access and those two bedrooms are accessed by two separate exterior doors, and do not connect. It’s a nice house with plenty of room but needs a deep cleaning and bug treatment.

Reviewer Comments:
Mason Cottage is a super clean and comfortable "vintage" cottage on the ocean. The location is perfect. The cottage had plenty of space for our family of 6. One thing to note is that 3 of the bedrooms (including the master) are on the 2nd, main floor. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor with separate entrances to each. The ground floor bedrooms feel more like basement/garage apartments separate from the rest of the home. Our older son stayed in one of the bedrooms. However, if I had younger children, I would not be comfortable having them stay in these bedrooms isolated from the rest of the family. Throughout the cottage, the beds were on the hard side which may be appealing to some but were not comfortable for us. As far as amenities go, beach towels, beach chairs and bikes were not provided so we had to bring our own (rented a bike). The kitchen was nicely stocked. Bed linens are provided but we had to make up all of the beds on arrival which was a different experience for us compared to prior rentals over the years. Overall, we found the cottage charming and well maintained and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Reviewer Comments:
We are repeat guests at Mason Cottage, and after staying in several different rentals over the years at Wrightsville Beach, we've found our favorite. We plan to return for many years to come.The cottage is warm, charming, and spacious, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of seven adults. While it isn't ultra-modern, it has everything we need and feels like a true beach home.The best feature is its oceanfront location, especially considering the very reasonable price. It's hard to find a property with this much space and such an unbeatable location at this value.I mentioned this in last year's review, but it's worth repeating: the garage-level bedrooms are clean, comfortable, and have separate exterior entrances. That's something families with young children may want to keep in mind, but our adult children absolutely loved having their own private space.The cottage was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for the week. Wrightsville Sands Realty is always friendly and professional, and a special thank you to Gail, who is wonderful to work with.We're grateful to have found Mason Cottage and are pretty sure it will be our Wrightsville Beach home for years to come.

WE WERE IN THE MASON HOUSE DURING DEBBIE. WE WERE RAINED FOR PART OF THE TIME OVER 3 DAYS. THE TV SERVICE WAS GREAT AND PROVIDED MANY OPTIONS FOR VIEWING. THE HOUSE WAS GREAT ACCOMADATION FOR GOING TO THE BEACH AND ACCESS TO WILMINGTON WAS EASY. WE ATE AT PADDY’S HOLLOW, AN IRISH PUB, AND THE OCEANIC NEARBY. BOTH WERE ENJOYABLE. THE MASON HOUSE WAS PROVIDED EVERYTHING WE NEEDED AND THE STAY WAS VERY ENJOYABLE. STAFF WERE ATTENTIVE AND RESPONSIVE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We had such a great time at the house - it is right on the beach and had a large deck for entertaining. The bedrooms are not all together which allowed for us to have separate space within the house. The rental agency was easy to work with and helpful with any questions about the area. Would definitely recommend and come back again

This was our 9th year renting the Mason Cottage. It is the PERFECT location for a great family vacation! Always comfortable and clean! We rise early each morning for the beautiful sunrises. South End surf shop and Sundays (coffee, smoothies, etc.) is a short walk from the house. Harris Teeter, The Workshop (coffee, breakfast sandwiches), and Tower 7 (best tacos and margaritas) are all close too! We hope to be back here again next year!!
An issue with ants and roaches due to cleanliness of property. A dirty diaper was left in dresser. Shower and bathtubs all had mold issues. Downstairs especially.

Good location
Can’t beat the location of the property and the views from the deck are priceless. The property is older though. We were not spending a lot of time inside but updates are needed. One of the guest bathrooms had a lot of mold on the ceiling, the two downstairs rooms were hot/humid and a lot of water bugs were present inside. If you want to go to the beach and be oceanfront then this is a great bang for your buck. However, just be aware that the actual house leaves a little to be desired.

This was our 4th year staying at the Mason Cottage and we already booked for next year. It would be great if the 3 twin beds downstairs could get new mattresses and the AC improved down there. Hopefully with the kitchen remodel a bigger fridge will be put in. We love the location. We love the cottage. One of the few vintage cottages left on the beach. The manager was great taking care of our needs.

This was our 6th year vacationing at the Mason Cottage. It is our FAVORITE beach getaway. It is the picture perfect original beach cottage . . . clean, comfortable and beach front! Our grandsons refuse to stay anywhere else. We had the whole family there and it was a perfect week!
The house was comfortable and the location was fabulous. The only problem we had was arriving with a 20 lb turkey only to find an oven the size of a shoebox. We were able to scramble around and manage but the lack of a workable oven was challenging. We very much enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the easy access to the beach.

Reviewer Comments:
Extremely disappointed in our accomodations. I have rented several homes VRBO and this is the FIRST where linens/towels were NOT included, and we had to go to an office to pick up and drop off keys after our stay. Early check-in even if available was $50 per HOUR extra and check out at 10am! I felt completely nickle and dimed to death. Needless to say, the kitchen was filthy, dirty dishes with old food still caked on, a pantry with an old dirty car seat, the comforters on the beds stained, screens torn and unable to open windows, a massive fly problem, we had to cover our coffee, wine glasses and food with paper towels to keep the flies off of it (INSIDE the home). Old beer cans littered outside. No keypad entry. While it's 5 bedrooms, two of the five bedrooms are in the lower level of the home, one makeshift from a garage with no windows and dungeon like, and the other looked like an outhouse with a dingy shower. We had a plumbing problem with one of the toilets that was given attention to after several calls. The property manager had a difficult time finding a plumber but eventually did and that did get taken care of. For nearly $2000 for 3 nights!? Crazy. The couch in the main living area has a board under it to keep it from collapsing. The list goes on. I have pics if anyone wants to see more detail. It's terribly unfortunate because the location of this home is perfect right on the beach, but NOT WORTH it. I truly felt like I was robbed as did all the guests in my group.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the property. When we inspected the property prior to your arrival we did not find any of the issues that you stated above. You called many times about the toilet, which was repaired in the same day, but you never mentioned any of the above items. We would have been more than happy to address any issue that you had. Please contact us with any questions.

We loved the home and the location. The beach access was great. The bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious and clean. The gas grill needs to be replaced as it is rusting out the bottom. My only disappointment was that there was no soap in most of the bathrooms and no beach towels or beach chairs were available. It has been our experience with other rental agencies that these items are provided. It would be easier to provide a combination lockbox or locks for the door instead of having to go to the rental agency to pick up the keys.
