Family Gathering
We bring our 3 children and their families to Wrightsville Beach every year or two. This was a great house to congregate in, huge kitchen, lots of bedrooms plus a supply of beach toys. The grandkids really enjoyed having the dock for fishing, crabbing and swimming. This is second year to stay in this house and so far it’s our favorite,

All Under One Roof
Great location, beautiful sunset views from rooftop and of Wrightsville Beach. We had a great time surprising our daughter on her birthday with our family and friends. She loved that we were all able to stay under one roof. The rooms are spacious and the set up of the home is great. We truly had a wonderful extended weekend all together.

The home was wonderful but, should not be advertised as a six-bedroom home. One of the bedrooms is a bonus room shared with the master bedroom. This layout would work fine with children. It was inconvenient to share with multiple adults.

Great house but needs new cook top.
Beautiful home with amazing views.
House was very clean and well maintained.
The only down side was the cook top that only had 2 burners working and the pans were terrible, every thing stuck to them.
With a large family to cook for it was disappointing. A House this beautiful with such a huge kitchen should have a functioning cooktop and decent pots and pans

We rented this lovely home for my nieces wedding. Five sets of aunts & uncles stayed for the weekend. Everyone was very happy with the accommodations. Great view. Very comfortable and spacious kitchen / living area for everyone to spend time together. The only downside is the bedroom with the twin beds shares a bathroom with the master bedroom. This room is really only suitable for children whose parents are in the master. We therefore did not utilize this bedroom at all, choosing instead to stay in our own home in Wilmington. Otherwise, a truly wonderful place to stay.

Reviewer Comments:
My rather large family gathers every Thanksgiving in Wrightsville Beach and this year, renting the Aquarium, made us Thanksgiving Central. My immediate family of 14 stayed very comfortably with the large bedrooms and plentiful bathrooms. We all enjoyed the multiple, scenic decks on each level. The place was spacious enough to sit all 30 of us for several lunches and dinners over the week. It was clean, well-supplied with cookware, dishes, glasses as well as a wine cooler. For the size of the property we often commented that a second oven would be convenient and cooking on the stovetop range was tricky and might need replaced soon.We did have several questions regarding some appliances and the elevator where, I think, an information binder would have been extremely helpful. Communication with the property management was poor to fair as they did not return any phone calls and sent an answer by text message 4 hrs after my initial request. A service repairman also showed up unannounced on the second day of my stay.

All the women of our family gathered at this house for a reunion. It accommodated 10 of us easily. The kitchen is huge. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Master suite had an additional room attached with two twin beds. The views off the deck and the deck on top of the house are breathtaking.

Fabulous stay! Loved the location, and the house was great. The views are breathtaking, especially on the very top "widows walk" that is huge. Some areas definitely need some freshening up, but pretty much all of the bathrooms have been updated and are beautiful! Most important thing for renters to know is that the "private" dock is actually a shared dock with the house next door. It was fine, but pretty misleading especially since it is in the title. Also there was no grill, which was a huge disappointment since we like to cook our fish and/or meat outside.
