Graduation Weekend
This is a true vintage beach house . We rented 10 years ago when my daughter graduated from UNCW and again this year when my son graduated . Nothing had changed but the stove in kitchen ! We love the location and true vintage Wrightsville Beach experience . Everyone who visited needed the full tour and loved it. Definitely no frills , but very clean , all white linens and towels , we had everything we needed !! ❤️

Old school
This house is certainly not for everyone, but we loved it. An old beach house as it’s supposed to be. If you’re looking for a sterile , cookie cutter modern behemoth stay next door. If you’re looking for a soulful, low key, beach house they don’t get much better than this.

Beautiful View. Lots of Character.
Really loved the pirches, with rocking chairs and hammock. Large outside, eclosed table for eating, and inside. The house has great character. Stayed with 5 to 62year olds. Direct short walk to beach. Bunnies in the dune behind house... Absolutely wonderful!

False advertising creates bad experience
VRBO website said pet friendly with no exclusions and only when reading fine print of Docusign rental agreement did I learn of cat exclusion so my daughter’s service animal pet could Not make the trip. The weather sucked for 2.5 days too which shortened our stay

Wonderful historical property BUT not as advertised in any way!
We love rustic historical properties so let's not think we are to pretentious to enjoy this place. It was not as advertised at all!!! When reading the listing description now that we have spent 3 nights and 4 days here we are really disappointed! The listing states 3 bathrooms. NOT AT ALL TRUE! There is only one full bathroom with a very small stand up shower. It is located downstairs by the laundry room with 2 small twin beds. The other bathroom with a vintage clawfoot tub/shower leaked through the ceiling and we could not use it after we realized this. It also did not have a sink in it just the bath and toilet. I encourage anyone considering this to really look at the reviews and talk to the listing office. If some MAJOR repairs are not done ASAP someone might get hurt. The wood is not taken care of and the upstairs balcony needs to be secure. My husband had a pretty significant wooden splinter from inside of the house's wood floors. We did not have enough toilet paper, trash bags etc. Limited supply of pretty much everything. Not as advertised either. This property really needs A LOT OF TLC before I would consider going back.

Rustic charm
This historic WB home has so much charm and character. It’s truly for beach lovers not boogie luxury….simple and beautiful. My only wish is that it would get a little TLC to keep it alive for another 100 years

Very disappointing - Stay Away
The property was very dirty and not taken care of. The TV was broken. Roaches crawled up and down the walls. There were underwear from past guests under the bed. The management company refunded a small portion of the trip but should have provided a full refund. We won’t be using the company again.
