Early Summer Getaway

The property was in a great location and just as described. The little touches like coffee creamer, dish pods and paper towels made it even nicer. The property manager was great at communicating some unexpected construction during our stay. We enjoyed our time in Wrightsville Beach.

Great location in Wrightsville Beach

Great location, very clean and well organized. Host is vey responsive. Very nice linens and stocked with almost anything you would need. My only suggestion would be to update the bathrooms to mirror the rest of the unit.

This place is nicely furnished and decorated, but it is a very old building and this unit has not been updated except for paint and decor. It was as clean it could possibly be, but due to age it felt drab. The showers and bathrooms are desperately in need of updates. We ended up leaving early since the weather was not cooperating. The location is great, right on the beach. Furnishings and supplies were plentiful. Check in was easy. It shows well in the photos.

Much needed break

My husband and I stayed 4 nights and were lucky to have wonderful weather. We were able to take full advantage of the balcony to soak in the view and sound of the ocean waves. We barely used the AC. We had everything we needed. The unit is close to Wilmington and we had 2 dinners there. With traffic, it was between 20-30 mins depending on which area. Overall, we had a very nice stay.
