Description

Our “Crane” property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac and is a fabulous 4-bedroom, 4 -bathroom single family home that is just a few steps from the beach. This charming bungalow could be the perfect destination for your next Wrightsville Beach family vacation!

The entry to the home is a spacious foyer decorated with traditional beach colors that incorporate blue hues of the beautiful natural landscape. There is a door that allows guests to access the garage and storage area, and a staircase that leads to the main floor. As you top the staircase a wall of windows awaits a panoramic view of the ocean that will relax and excite you at the same time. This home has been lovingly maintained and furnished for comfort with a touch of European flair.

To the left of the stairs, is a dining room that can seat six people, making it easy to go from a buffet to a family dinner to a dinner party with ease. Located off the dining room is an updated kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops with a raised bar and seating for four. At the rear of the kitchen there is additional bar seating for two and a cozy breakfast nook seating for six guests. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, offering a choice of an automatic drip coffee machine or a Keurig to jump start your day.

To the right of the staircase is an inviting living room with an abundance of natural light, seating, and a flat screen tv for your viewing pleasure. Moving back towards the front of the house, there is a full bathroom with tub/shower combination and acts as a walk through to a bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a sitting area perfect for reading. Next to that is the laundry room, which has a full-sized washer and dryer, utility sink and comes equipped with an ironing board and iron. At the front of the house, the spacious master suite features a king-sized bed and a seating area, where you can prop up your feet and reflect on the day. Adjacent to the master bedroom is the master bathroom complete with walk in closet and a stand-up shower.

The second floor of this amazing family home has a skylight that showers the hallway in natural light. This floor consists of two bedrooms which are anchored at the front and rear of the house and separated by a modified jack-n-jill bathroom. The bedroom at the back of the house overlooks the ocean and has two twin beds and a private deck where a cup of coffee will help you welcome the day. The front room has one queen bed and one twin bed, perfect for children, as there is no exterior egress.

Located off the main floor living room is a large, covered deck which maximizes the outdoor living space that this home offers. You and your family can enjoy an evening card or board game at one of the outdoor tables or spend a lazy afternoon in the hammock reading a book or napping the afternoon away. There is access from the deck to the private back yard where the children can play while you tap into your inner “Bobby Flay” at the barbeque grill. Additionally, there is an outdoor shower and hose to wash the day away.

We have stayed in this house several times. Love the location. Most of the house is nice, but the back porch, the back porch furniture and the mattresses need some need some attention.

Manager's Response

Thank you Calvin for your input and review. We are so glad that you return to this beautiful beach front house for your vacations. I will relay your suggestions to the property managers for any updates the owners may have for this house in the future. We hope you will continue returning in the very near future!

Management was helpful. House was clean. The new doors and windows were very nice. The one big issue we had was the double bed in the downstairs bedroom is TERRIBLY SQUEAKY. The couple that stayed there were not comfortable. As hosts we felt badly. Also the double bed upstairs needs a new mattress. A couple of new mattresses and a new bed frame would be greatly appreciated. It may be a deal breaker for our staying there next year. We try to treat the house as we would treat our own. We are careful with everything, We clean up each day. We keep sand out. I organized the very disorganized kitchen when we were there. I called the management to see if they would provide a utility broom so I could clean out the basement area and I was told to use the kitchen broom. Also there were no TV instructions which can be frustrating.

Manager's Response

Susan, we appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the updated doors and windows, and that we could meet your expectations on the cleanliness and hospitality of our company! We have a process for documenting guest suggestions for owners. So, I have documented your comments about the mattresses for possible updates during off-season. We do appreciate you respecting the property and hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful ocean front view and peaceful location. We can't wait to see you again for your next vacation!

Everything was so nice.

Great location. Nice home and furnishings. Clean. Good TV, puzzles and videos. Love rocking chairs and hammock. Pots and pans need replacing. One side of grill didn't work. Garage smells of mold and one member had had bad reaction to being in there.

Hi Carole. Thank you for taking the time to review this beautiful home! I will make note of the issues you listed and pass that on to the owners for their consideration. Thank you again and we hope you will visit again very soon!

House location was excellent
However sliding door to the main deck was extremely difficult to open n close

Top floor deck needs to be sanded my niece got a wood splinter in her foot

The trash was never picked up

If these items of concern are corrected I would be willing to return n recommend it
To others

Manager's Response

We appreciate your feedback from your recent stay at the Crane property, Anthony! That oceanfront location is tough to beat, especially when you can relax on the deck watching the waves, or be in the sand in seconds! I pulled up the service orders and it looks like the slider door wheels have been replaced and the door tracks lubricated to aid in it's function. The trash we ask that you place the cans at the end of the driveway the night before the assigned pick up days to ensure they are emptied Tuesday and Friday - the trash trucks come early in the morning. We just had the entire unit carpet cleaned including the upholstery and the owner has some updates in the works for this offseason so be sure to keep Crane in mind for your next visit to the beach! Looking forward to next time! *Update: as of 2/2022 the owners have replaced carpeting up the stairs and entire upstairs as well as new hardwood in the bedrooms downstairs.

Getting the keys package and returning them from Bryant Realty was exceptionally smooth and easy.
Great premium location on Wrightsville Beach. Very spacious house with easy access to the beach, right down the back stairs off the deck and up a short path. Space for 4-6 cars with 3-4 in a garage. Great covered main level deck with privacy from the beach because of the sand dunes, exceptional kitchen, very well appointed. Close to food shopping at Harris Teeter, and some nice restaurants, South Beech Grill and Blue Water Grill. Great seafood can be purchased to cook at Motts Channel Seafood, what a great store. Outstanding key lime pie sold there too!
The main level deck has plenty of chairs and a nice hammock, enjoyed by all at one point or another. The beach behind the house has good waves for surfing and body boarding but should be done with caution as rip tides can be present, and if windy it can be very rough. The upper-level deck is not covered but has a magnificent view of the beach but can be very hot.
The main living and dining areas are great, spacious open concept. ......why only 4 stars....
The furniture is dated and needs a good cleaning (there was dried catchup on a couch cushion), the rugs going up the stairs and on level 3 are very worn and stained and many of the walls are marked up. The house was clean but could have been cleaner, found a mask between furniture in the living room, 3rd level shower has very poor lighting and there were dead bugs on the floor of the shower. The furniture on the deck needs new cushions and some of the chairs on the deck are in rough shape. The water was not turned on to the outdoor hose or the outdoor shower outback, we went through the garage but could not see how to turn it on, it should have been on already. It would be nice if beach chairs were provided as we flew in and could not bring our own.
The top 2 bad....
1.Grill- There is a grill shell under the deck that looks like it was us

Manager's Response

Thank you for your thorough and kind review of the Crane property, Bruce! We are so happy to hear that you loved the home and it's oceanfront location. The views from the decks are so lovely and all the rocking chairs allows for a relaxing vacation. We appreciate your feedback on the unit and will definitely pass it along to the property owners for review. The carpets are regularly carpet cleaned but we can understand that they may be worn. The unit was painted last off season but with a busy summer, the walls tend to get scuffed up pretty quick. The owners recently renovated the bathrooms upstairs, removing wallpaper and painting, as well as installing a new fridge in the kitchen. There are some upgrades on the way so definitely consider Crane for your next trip to Wrightsville! Thank you for choosing to rent with Bryant! *Update: as of 2/2022 the owners have replaced carpeting up the stairs and entire upstairs as well as new hardwood in the bedrooms downstairs.

Manager's Response

Robert, welcome back!! We are thrilled to have you back with us renting at Crane after all these years. We hope this year lived up to all the others and you were able to take full advantage of those oceanfront views and steps to the sand. The owners did a little bit of work last off season with a lot of painting, carpet cleaning, and a new refrigerator installed in the kitchen! The door at Crane is always open to your family should you return to Wrightsville next time! *Update: as of 2/2022 the owners have replaced carpeting up the stairs and entire upstairs as well as new hardwood in the bedrooms downstairs.

Everything was in good order except that new higher quality mattress and springs for the upstairs bedrooms are badly needed.
This is the fourth complaint from various renters and should be seriously considered. Everything else was great. Love this property

Manager's Response

Linda, thank you for your feedback and review of Crane! We have a detailed reviews document where we log issues throughout each year, and this is the second complaint I have, the first being in 2020. Mattresses are definitely a tough one, since preference varies between person to person. I added your comments and will pass along to the owner to review, and some replacements may be in order this off season. We will try to update the reviews if any are replaced for future guests reading. It's great that you enjoyed the rest of the unit and your vacation nonetheless! Both decks offer stunning oceanfront views and front row seats to watching the surfers, taking in the ocean breeze, and relaxation. Come on back anytime! *Update: as of 2/2022 the owners have replaced carpeting up the stairs and entire upstairs as well as new hardwood in the bedrooms downstairs.

Every aspect of our stay at 12 Crane was truly wonderful, from beginning to end. The home is filled with natural light, is very spacious, and has a happy vibe. The street is quiet (there is no public parking), and the the views are breathtaking. The hammock on the main deck offers a peaceful retreat and both decks have ample room from which to enjoy the beach. We rarely went down to the beach except to walk because the decks provided the same experience without the sand. The house was well furnished with everything we needed and lots of extras. Haley and Steve at R Bryant were wonderful to work with from start to finish and were extremely responsive. After checking out I received a call from R Bryant that the cleaning people had found cash that I had stashed in a closet and they wanted to return it to me - a solid, trustworthy company for sure. My only hesitance in writing this review is the fear that the home will no longer be available when we'd like to rent it!

Manager's Response

Lori, thank you so much for your kind review of Crane! We are so thrilled to hear you enjoyed your month stay there and had a great experience with our staff - I will pass this message along to them both! The home is certainly on a quiet street which makes enjoying the deck and house so peaceful - especially with those views! You were a joy to host and we would love to see you back on the beach again soon. Thanks Lori! *Update: as of 2/2022 the owners have replaced carpeting up the stairs and entire upstairs as well as new hardwood in the bedrooms downstairs.

We had never been to Wrightsville Beach and really enjoyed the area. Also, the staff at Bryant was responsive and pleasant each time I called. The house itself was in a great location but very dated with rust on some of the fixtures (especially in the bathrooms), etc. While we would visit the area again, we would not stay in this house.

Manager's Response

Hi Troy- Thanks for your feedback, we are glad to hear you enjoyed the area... Wrightsville Beach is a beautiful spot! There will be some updates happening to the property over the offseason, we will update review once things progress. Happy New Year! *Update: as of 2/2022 the owners have replaced carpeting up the stairs and entire upstairs as well as new hardwood in the bedrooms downstairs.

We loved the view and extensive porches overlooking the beach. Really great floor plan! A huge downside is that the beds were terrible. One even had some support under it so it stayed up and didn't fall to the floor. Another was so hard that we had to use pillows under us to be able to sleep. We would like to stay here again but the beds were so bad I don't know that we could do it. I am surprised with the price of the home that the sellers hasn't done any upgrades in a really long time. Baths were dated with really low toilets. Risk of overflowing. The HVAC also leaked a lot of water into the garage. I heard from other reviews that this happened to them. Warning: Anyone with small children; the kids bedroom is upstairs with a sliding door and a balcony overlooking the beach. As a parent that would make me nervous. This room should have been furnished for the parents. Amazing views! Again, we love this place but wish the sellers would put some money into it to make the beds liveable and fix the little frustrations like the screen door falling off every time we would walk out, etc. Despite it all, we had a very nice weekend with great memories and also laughs about putting up with the beds and bedroom arrangements. The view and porches make this overall review higher.

Manager's Response

Gina, thank you so much for your thorough review of the Crane property! We rely on guest feedback to relay to our owners to encourage improvements, so I have made note of all your suggestions. With mattresses, they are very subjective in that comfort will vary guest to guest. Some like a more firm mattress, others softer. Nonetheless, I logged your suggestions for new mattresses and if there are a few repeat complaints we can certainly talk replacement with the owner. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise especially with the amazing oceanfront view the property offers. We'd love to see you back soon!

Our family vacation was wonderful this year. With Covid issues around the world & a hurricane the week before our arrival, it definitely was touch and go before we knew the Realtor said the house was ready! Great news. The house was in perfect condition. Everything in its place. Decorating beachie through out the home. I loved the open floor place with all the views of the ocean. The hammock was our go to spot after a warm sunny day at the beach. The house comes with sheets and towels for every bedroom wrapped in plastic wrap. The house has an outdoor shower to rinse off the sandy beach day. The house has a new gas bbq, three cars can park under house in garage and driveway can hold three more cars if you are a large family. The top deck is wonderful for looking up at the stars. That particular night, we saw a meteor shower. This house is definitely upscale. The kitchen and dining room were gorgeous. Thanks to this perfect house, our family had a perfect ‘well needed’ vacation. We booked next year! Can’t wait!

Manager's Response

Sounds like a great week at the beach to us! Glad all was perfect! Looking forward to your visit next year!

House is great - well stocked and great location. We arrived 1 hour early in the rain, during the pandemic with a 2 year old and The agents would not help or accommodate us in any way. We had to sit in our car in the pouring rain with our toddler crying until check in time even though the house was clean and vacant.

Manager's Response

Hi Jocelyn- Happy to hear you enjoyed the home! We apologize you were denied early check-in, our staff has certain procdures they follow and the home needed to be have its final inspection prior to check-in to ensure all was ready for your stay. Thanks again for your business, we hope you will visit with us again in Wrightsville Beach!

The location is great because of no on-street parking and the deck gets nice breezes. The house has good space.
When we arrived, the kitchen sink had fallen away from counters so I could fit my hand between sink and counter. They put wood braces under sink to hold it up. The smaller master is in desperate need of updating. The bathroom wallpaper is peeling off, there is a smell of urine that seems is not purely a lack of cleaning, but maybe in the grout, and the dresser has drawers that fall completely out, which is extremely dangerous. The rugs are stained.
This house could be so much better with some fresh paint and a few new pieces of furniture.
I think that the house had been cleaned reasonably well, but because of old finishes, especially in the bathrooms, it does not feel very clean.

Our two week stay at 12 crane was amazing. View or the beach from the back porch was amazing and the beach a few steps from the house. Plenty of space in the house for 5 people to work and the WiFi was great. House was very nicely decorated and with a large living space. I would definitely stay here again. We had a small maintenance issue and it was handled right away by Bryant Reality.

We hosted family at Crane to celebrate UNCW graduation. What a beautiful view, but we would not stay again (we have a toddler). We had to bring dish detergent, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, along with towels (hand towels too!), bath mats, and bed linens and everything else that comes with a toddler (baby gates). The home has clearly seen some water damage and the seals on the windows are broken, so the view (while beachfront) is obstructed. We paid a premium for the location but expect some additional basics beyond what was provided.

Manager's Response

Hi Catherine- Congrats to the graduate! Thank you for the feedback. Effective January 2, 2020 all vacation rentals will include a full linen package in the total cost paid. Bed making services are not automatically included but may be added via the rental contract. The policy at the time of your stay was not put in place and you are correct, linens/towels were not included and were only avaiable to rent. All other items mentioned are supplied only in a starter amount, 1 roll of toilet paper, paper towels etc. We will look into the windows mentioned, believe it was just sea-spray since the home is oceanfront, exterior window cleaning should take care of the issue. Thanks again for staying with us, hope to see you at the beach agian soon!

We have rented this place three times. It is always clean and well maintained and we have never had any problems. This time, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. None of it was due to poor maintenance, just bad luck. The air conditioner went out twice, a pipe burst, the sink faucet spewed water under the sink, door locks broke. Every time, Bryant was there quickly and fixed it or got in extra help even after hours or on Sunday. We have reserved this place again next year. Thanks, Bryant!

Manager's Response

Thank you for the review of your stay at the Crane property. Whether a compliment or a complaint, it’s always helpful to receive firsthand impressions from our guests.

Susan- There may have misunderstanding around check in times and procedures, we apologize if we misinformed in anyway. Due to the high volume of property turnover, we do not call if a unit is a ready prior to check in time stated on your contract. However, we encourage our guest to call an hour or so prior to arriving in case we find a unit is ready early. Happy to hear the rest of your stay was nice, hope to see you at the beach again soon!

The only reason for not giving a perfect rating is that there are some maintenance needs,such as repairing/ replacing door locks. I am sure the salty air takes a toll on these. I only mention this because I would want to know if I were the owner and didn't see the property frequently.

The property on Crane is wonderful. The house is only steps from the beach and much bigger than the pictures show. House was clean and well appointed and in very good overall condition with a teriffic floor plan. It is located on a private street so you do not have any traffic and the house is on the corner so there is only one property next door. I would highly recommend this to property.
