Great property with plenty of space to spread out!

My group enjoyed the outdoor space (large wrap around deck) on the house as well as the very close proximity to the beach and town. Everything was clean and everything we needed (blankets, fans) was available.

This house was perfect for my family. Great location! Enjoyed sitting out on the large deck. Carol is a wonderful property manager. She was attentive, kind and gracious. You can’t go wrong with renting her house.

One of our best family vacations!

From a few weeks before our vacation began, I knew this was going to be a lovely experience. Carole reached out well ahead of time to share information with us that was very helpful. The unit we stayed in was clean, bright and updated. We loved the outdoor shower, the brief walk to the beach and the entire property. The unit was well-stocked with basics, which we really appreciated. Carole made renting the linens quite easy. The elevator was fabulous for my aunt. We lost internet the last two days and Carole and her son worked diligently to get us service. There were things out of their control that they couldn't fix, although I know they wanted to! Carole ended up giving us a bit of a refund, which was really kind and greatly appreciated. I am super excited to book our stay here next year! We all loved it!!!

Father and sons fishing trip

My dad is 78yo with neuropathy and the elevator was a godsend. Very comfortable house with everything we needed for our short stay. My brother and myself are hoping to revisit with our families and rent both sides.

Great house & location

We had a wonderful stay at this property! We stayed with family on both sides and it was very convenient! The walk to the beach was easy & the beach was not crowded compared to down the way. We had 4 kids under 6 and the house had a gate available for the stairs which was super nice! I can’t say enough nice things about the property. Carole was also amazing to work with! She always responded right away to any questions or concerns that we had!

Lovely stay

We had a very nice family beach week in Wilmington. Location was great - steps to the beach, quiet street, close to great restaurants. We enjoyed walking to the heart of Wilmington, the beautiful sandy beach, ping pong table and quiet deck to enjoy coffee and relax. Wrightsville Beach is a great spot and we hope to come back for years to come.

A Beautiful Home and a Great Location!

This home is perfect for large groups or families. We stayed in this home for our wedding weekend with our bridal party and it was absolute perfection. The environment is so welcoming and relaxing. There is also plenty of outdoor seating which was a plus! Also only a few steps to the beach. Will definitely be coming back.

Great Deck and Location!

We spent the week at Carol's beach house in Wrightsville. The location was great, Shell Island, but not too far from the restaurants and the walking Loop on Wrightsville beach. We loved sitting out on the huge front deck. It was peaceful and amazing. The house has very close access to the beach as well. Just a short walking distance. We would definitely stay again. Carol was wonderful to work with.

Two minute walk to the beach

Great location if the beach is your primary target. Clean and comfortable furnishings with a large deck for lounging. We had one small issue upon arrival which the host took care of immediately. We actually extended for an extra day.

I got this property because it was big enough to house my family for my wedding. I had no idea this property would turn into my wedding venue!! It was absolutely perfect for both and Carole was THE MOST AMAZING host. She helped every step of the way! I can’t say enough nice things about the property or the owner!! 6 stars!!!!

Weekend Get away

The property was just as advertised in the photos. Just a short stroll from the beach. The owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to the inquiry. We'll look to stay again the next time we are in the area.

'beach house get away

The property was in a nice location. The only issue we had was the water. The filter for the water was not turned on. The smell of the water was toxic. We were not able to shower until the next day. Carol did apologize for the inconveniences. The hide away bed is not comfortable for an adult.
