We have stayed at this condo year after year. It continues to meet our needs for a beach-front stay.

We have stayed at this condo year after year. It continues to meet our needs for a beach-front stay, with amazing views and very comfortable beds. The new carpet is awesome! The added throw pillows make the couch more comfortable. We'd like to see chair pads for the dining room though, sitting on bare wood is hard! TVs in every room makes happy kids! Please see if the glass/metal table on the master deck could be replaced. It is rusting, and with metal shards flaking off makes it dangerous. Overall, this certainly is a wonderful condo for anybody's beach vacation. Nicely updated, right on the beach, close to the pier and shopping, good parking for guests. We will return! And we sure do miss it when we're back home with no beach!

We always love staying at Douglas just because of the location, and the fact that the rest of our family can also be in the same 4-unit condos.
We do wish the owner would replace one section of vertical blinds in the main living area, they just don't work! Little upgrades would help, but we've learned to bring our own. We really appreciate the added large throw pillows in the living area, they make the seating so much more comfortable.

Manager's Response

Thank you Joyce for the review! The location and views of the Douglas are wonderful and I will pass along your update suggestions to the owners. I agree that those large pillows were a great addition to the living room furniture for adding more comfortable seating. We hope to see you again in the very near future!

Excellent, great location with good service. Could be updated but still a great place.

Manager's Response

Donna, thank you so much for a great review! The Douglas is a great vacation spot with beautiful views from both floors and a great location by being within walking distance to Johnnie Mercer Pier. I will pass on to the owner that updating the condo has been suggested. Thank you again and we hope to see you at the Douglas in the near future.

Good location, but the house needs updating. New floors/carpets would go a long way. Expected more for the price.

Manager's Response

Kyle, we appreciate your review and feedback from your stay at Douglas! The property manager is working closely with the homeowner on upgrades, many of which have already started including new bedding, couch pillows, and a new stainless steel refrigerator. We will be installing new drapes and rods in the bedrooms and the living room in the next few weeks to replace the vertical blinds. The homeowner is also getting quotes on vinyl flooring which will be a very exciting upgrade to the property, likely installed after the Summer season - we can't wait to share all the updates coming to Douglas soon! We hope you enjoyed your beach trip to Wrightsville and that wonderful view by the pier! Come on back anytime.

This property is located right on the beach and near the pier! The house has a great layout, the kitchen has several dishes and cookware. There are 2 decks. One has a nice dining setup, the other has 2 cheap plastic chairs. The main floor has tile, the stairs and bedrooms has very dated, gaudy carpet. It looks very wore and there is a very large bleach stain, could use an update. The bathrooms are dated, walls are peeling and stained. There are only a few towels, no hairdryer and the linen situation is odd. The beds are not made, linens are provided in a rolled package and you need to make your own bed. Upon checkout, I was asked to wash and put away all the dishes, yet you are charged a large housekeeping fee. I was charged an accidental damage fee that I was unaware of until I had already checked in. The staff are wonderful!! Kim was helpful and sweet. We loved our stay, but the management company was pretty fussy. We travel a lot and their policies were the least customer friendly I’ve ever encountered.

Manager's Response

Connie, sorry to hear that your expectations were not met with your stay at Douglas. The home will be having many upgrades in the coming weeks and months, some of which have already happened like a new stainless refrigerator, new bedding, new pillows for the couch, and we will be installing new drapes in the bedrooms and living room very soon to replace those vertical blinds. The property manager is working closely with the homeowner on a number of other upgrades including new vinyl flooring likely installed after the Summer season. We halted our bed making due to COVID from guest feedback wanting their linens untouched but may restart this process soon. The housekeeping fee covers the cleaning cost, the linen rental, linen delivery and laundering, and all of the toiletries and amenities we provide, not just the clean. We are glad you enjoyed working with Kim, I will pass on your note to her. We hope you will consider visiting Douglas again in the future - I'm sure you'll love the updates! Take care.

Excellent views and easy access to the beach. House was very clean. Typical rental property with usual type of damage - terrible pots/pans, stove doesn't work properly (regardless of setting, the temperature fluctuates all over the place making it very hard to cook). In the twin bedroom, the blinds on all three windows were broken, they wouldn't open or close, stuck in the position they were in. The rental company offered to come look but it wasn't worth the hassle in trying to coordinate timing. They did come fix the 10+ lightbulbs that were burnt out. If being close to the beach with great views is the top priority, this is a good choice but it is not a top quality house (but that was reflected in the price we paid).

Manager's Response

Amanda, thank you for your feedback and review from your stay at Douglas! We are so excited you enjoyed that stunning oceanfront location and the quick walk to the beach. We are saddened to hear the rest of your experience was not positive, but we appreciate you for allowing us the opportunity to fix some items you reported. Our hospitality staff will take a look at those pots/pans - they should mostly all be new as we placed new ones before the Summer season. The blinds have since been fixed with new turning rods added to them for proper use. The property manager is working closely with the homeowner to plan for some exciting upgrades that we will share once completed. We hope you will consider renting Douglas again on your next visit to Wrightsville!

It was a good family week at the beach. Good weather and great location and view. The condition of the house was just "OK".....needed a good bit of sprucing up....spots on the carpets, mold around vents, some bugs, etc.

Manager's Response

Great to hear you had an enjoyable week at Wrightsville with your family, Willis! The Douglas home offers some great oceanfront views with plenty of people/surfer watching being so close to the pier. The beach access is steps away and having your own assigned parking is a huge plus especially in the busy summer season. I will make note of your comments and add to our owner suggestions file - we heavily rely on guest feedback so I appreciate yours! We are aware of some staining, they are bleach stains from a previous guest but the unit is regularly carpet cleaned. We look forward to you visiting the area again and hope to see you back at Douglas or another one of our many properties! Take care!

This condo offered a fantastic location right on the beach and close to Johnny Mercer pier. The house was very clean, but is older and could use some updates. The main fridge in the kitchen did not keep items very cold and the freezer did not keep items frozen, but the second fridge/freezer off of the living room worked just fine. Would have liked to have seen the kitchen stocked with some additional items, an ice cream scoop :), but for the most part had what we needed for the week. None of these things were a deal breaker and the close access to the beach, where we spent most of our time, more than made up for the minor shortcomings. Would definitely book this house again.

Manager's Response

Glad to hear you enjoyed your week at the Douglas property, Melissa! It's always great to hear positive feedback and thoughtful suggestions. We are so happy the unit was nice and clean on your arrival - we certainly hold our housekeeping staff to very high standards so you should expect that each time you rent with our company. The kitchen inventory is completed regularly , most recently right before the summer season where it was stocked with all required items and to the occupancy limits for plates, silverware, glasses, etc. We do not require homeowners to provide ice cream scoops but can certainly pass that suggestion along. Thank you for your kind review and we hope to see you back again next time!

There is nothing good to say about this unit except that the location was superb. The house itself is not clean nor well maintained. Starting with the health and safety hazards, on our first day there, my daughter opened the screen door to the porch and the support over the door (which was glued on, not screwed in) detached and fell on her head. The vents have not been cleaned since probably the 20th century and there is visible mold growing around the vents on the ceiling in the primary bedroom and bathroom. We all had colds while we were there and I suspect it may have been due to the unhealthy air quality. There was an outlet without a cover in the kids’ room, with a trunk shoved in front of it to hide it. The furniture is horribly uncomfortable, from the saggy beds to the stiff sofas to the unpadded wooden chairs at the table. The kitchen was very poorly stocked, with scratched and flaking pots and a frying pan with an inexplicably sharp handle. The refrigerator in the kitchen doesn’t keep things cold and the freezer doesn’t keep things frozen, and it’s super loud and runs 24/7. The house is not clean... there were screens on the inside of our windows that had strings of dust caked onto them and the carpets were disgusting and stained. The vertical blinds in most rooms were either missing some pieces, or wouldn’t close or open all the way. If I had to find some positive aspects of this house, they would be the location, and the outdoor area downstairs which was very nice and well maintained. Otherwise, consider yourself warned.

Manager's Response

Amanda, thank you for your review and feedback of the Douglas unit. We are disheartened to learn that your recent vacation rental with our company did not meet your expectations. We strive to create memorable and enjoyable vacations and we are always saddened whenever we fall short of that mark. I have made note of all your issues and suggestions and will pass them along to both the property manager and the owner to encourage improvements this off season. The kitchen inventory was just completed a few weeks ago with everything full stocked for occupancy, and in addition to the pots/pans already there we placed two new pans but I will have a look through again now that we've had a few reservations to ensure it's still stocked. Unfortunately with the humidity of summer, AC blasting, and open windows/doors from guests this can lead to an increase in the presence of mildew on vents from the condensation. The carpets were recently carpet cleaned a month ago, although permanent staining is present including an unfortunate bleach stain from the guest before you. Thank you for reporting the maintenance issues to our staff during your stay. Our maintenance staff worked hard to repair everything that you brought to our attention. This property is by no means advertised as premier, and with lower tiered homes comes lower expectations with furniture, décor, and overall lack of updates. However, I can understand your frustrations and will look into each issue accordingly and hopefully make some improvements soon. Be sure to reach out for your next vacation and one of our reservationists can work closely with you to find a more updated property that will appeal to you a bit more! Take care!

We have always loved our yearly vacations at Wrightsville Beach, and Douglas is in the perfect location to do that! We are just SO pleased that the sliders now have new screens and drapes! As with any older rental unit, it could use some updating, especially with kitchen accessories (pots, pans, pitchers for tea and drinks). High top chairs for the deck would be a wonderful addition! We are sad to say that the living and dining room furniture is just about the most uncomfortable we have ever encountered, but if you bring in the extra pillows from bedrooms, it makes it more bearable for relaxing. Overall, it's a super place to stay with one of the best locations. Bryant Realty always has superb customer service and is a great company to deal with, our unit has always been clean and tidy. We highly recommend this unit for a beachfront vacation!

Manager's Response

Joyce, thank you so much for your kind review of Douglas! The unit is located on a quiet residential street, and offers oceanfront views right next to the pier making for some excellent views and sunrises. We appreciate all of your feedback, and I will make note of it all to pass to the property owners to encourage additional improvements. As of 6/26 we placed two new frying pans and a tea pitcher in the unit, thank you for letting us know after you checked out! Next time let us know while you are here and I would love to run those items down! I'm so happy you visited us again and appreciate your continued loyalty with our company. We hope to see you back again next year, take care!

We were happy with our stay. The AC was not cooling when we arrived but Bryant sprung into action on Sunday and had Southeastern HVAC come immediately. The first visit was unsuccessful so I called them back and a second tech name Ray came. He did some extensive work until midnight that night and fixed the issue with the drain line. We were very comfortable the rest of the week. I would recommend highly Bryant Realty and Ray at Southeastern HVAC.

Manager's Response

Hi Joseph- Sorry you had the hvac issue but happy to hear all was repaired and you were able to enjoy the week! Hope to see you around the beach again soon!

Bryant Real Estate is the BEST! We have always been so very pleased with how they handle our rentals. However, I wish they could convince the owner of Douglas to make some upgrades. We have been dealing with broken vertical blinds in that unit for years, and the sliding deck screens continue to be off track. One would think that with the rent we pay, working blinds and screen sliders could be upgraded easily at very little cost to the owner. The rest of Douglas was fine, it's a very nice location for a stay on Wrightsville beach, and we love staying there.

Manager's Response

Hi Joyce- We think you're the best too! We will pass along the request about those pesky vertical blinds and the screen, the salt air really does a number to the screen rollers making it difficult to stay on track at times. Thanks again for your feedback, enjoy the rest of your summer!

The unit location is very good, close to the beach and close enough to walk to town. The unit is good size. It was nice having a charcoal grill and outdoor shower.
The unit could use some updating. The stove and dishwasher did not work properly. The surface of the chair in the living room was flaking off. The umbrella on the lower deck was rusting badly.
Unfortunately, we had a number of issues during our stay. The Bryant Realty folks were excellent, very responsive. With the issues needing attention, there were repair people coming to the unit frequently and it definitely detracted from our stay. The lower deck had broken glass on the deck...which our 2 year old stepped on. The back sliding screen door was not operational. The stove and dishwasher needed repair. The AC stopped working. Then when the AC was repaired, it leaked water over night all over the kitchen and hallway floor. We had hoped to received some discount for our stay, which we did not.

Great location and loved the view from the decks; unfortunately there is a lot of construction going on close to the pier that woke us up each morning. I would also echo previous reviews regarding needing updated blinds/window coverings..many were broken and outdated. We also would have enjoyed a larger TV in the main room since it is difficult to view from all the seating.

Manager's Response

Ms. Schmidt - thank you for your feedback. We do regret that nearby re-construction caused some disruption to your vacation, but we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location and stellar views from the Douglas condo. We are happy to report that, based on your feedback and others like it, we have worked with the owner to update the window coverings in the unit. We hope that y'all will choose to vacation with us in Wrightsville Beach again soon and that you may be open to giving Douglas another try!

We had a fantastic time and loved the location of the Douglas property. I had read the reviews before renting and I agree that the carpet and a couple of items in the home could be upgraded or changed but otherwise a VERY enjoyable stay. Access to the beach is great. The turtle nest in front of the property hatched while we were there. And the weather cooperated with us greatly. We hope to return

Manager's Response

Joanne- Turtles are a big deal in Southeastern NC. Maybe one day you will get to see them hatch and make their way out to the ocean! We hope that we see you make your way out to the property for another vacation! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

It's always a nice stay at Douglas, with a great location. It would be nice if the slider screen on the first floor would finally replaced instead of constantly being repaired, as would be the vertical blinds that are everywhere. Bryant was great in getting maintenance there for repairs in a timely manner. It has a good beach access, and of course all of the restaurants and shops are close by.

Manager's Response

Hey Joyce - thanks so much for the review and vote of confidence with our team! The slider has been repaired, but it went through a major overhaul at the vendor replacing all the hardware. This is much more expeditious and it also fixes the root of the problem that you encountered. Thanks again and we look forward to hosting you and your family again in the near future!!

The location of this place is absolutely fantastic. Right on the beach and close to a bridge to get back to Wilmington. The house itself could use a facelift - there is carpet throughout a lot of it, which would have been weird during the summer time with the beach, top right cabinet broken, popcorn ceilings, etc. The one thing I would do first though is upgrade the TV — it’s so small you can barely see it from the couch. Overall a really great place to stay!!

Manager's Response

Kirsi,
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear you enjoyed the wonderful location of this property! We realize that carpet isn’t suitable for every guest and will be happy to pass your suggestions along to the owner; they may be willing to upgrade some areas of the home to better suit their guests. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to see you at the beach again soon!

Great location on the beach close to pier & restaurants. Beautiful views from the living room & master bedroom decks. Very nice area under deck for beach stuff and shower! Five stars for everything but general condition, giving 4 stars due to plumbing fixtures needing updated- showers were not so great.

The rental was excellent. The location cannot be beat. You're literally a few steps from the beach. House was clean and the AC was nice and cold. Outdoor shower was nice. Bryant Real Estate was excellent to work with. We got a few courtesy calls to make sure we were happy. Overall..... This place was awesome.

Great Location . Updates not as good as the description made it sound. Back bedroom had a moldy smell. It was hotter in that room as well.

Julie,
We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location of this home! This is the first time we have been notified about the temperature difference or any issue with the back bedroom; but we are happy to have our maintenance staff investigate this.

This is probably the best location on the beach. The rental itself is ok. Recent newer furniture and brand new appliances were a welcome addition. The blinds in all 3 bedrooms did a poor job of keeping the light out, especially the master bedroom ones. Those have needed replaced for years. The mattresses are old and not very comfortable. The proximity to ther beach and the amazing views are what keeps us coming back year after year. It's good to see the owners updating things. Hopefully they'll keep at it. The new linen service is also really nice.

Manager's Response

Joyce,
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay at Douglas! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the new additions the owner made to the unit. The owner replaced all the mattresses in the property the week before you checked in. We understand everyone’s preference is different, it is difficult to find a mattress that will please everyone. We will gladly share this information with the owner to help resolve the issue with the blinds. Thanks again for your feedback and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Second time down in Wrightsville Beach NC. Had a very enjoyable time.
Not to far from the pier which was very convenient along with a nice pathway to the beach.
A nice outdoor shower
Also not to far from the other house my grandmother rented (The Rosenburg)

Great beach front rental, easy access

Every Christmas when my now-adult children come home, we have a new tradition of renting a beach front house for a few days. It's sometimes a challenge to find a nice place, with enough space, that's still within our budget, but this worked out great. The only maintenance needs were in regard to the screens for the sliding glass doors, & need for a new living room carpet...otherwise it is well maintained.

The overall property was in decent condition. It does need some updating and work. The beds are not very comfortable and squeak with each move you make. As well many of the blinds do not open properly, difficult to work or are missing parts to open properly. The master shower is very dingy and in need of a new shower caddy or remove it all together as it’s seen better days and we did not feel comfortable using it.

We would suggest a larger TV in the den area. It's very small considering the room size and distance from the couch so you could not see it too clearly from the sofa or dining area. Additionally the new sofa (different than the picture) set is not comfortable at all. It’s so hard and unforgiving that we watch TV on the tiny TV in the master bedroom or sat in the white chair next to the TV to view shows. The white chair does need some deep cleaning as it has many rentals weeks of food down the sides and under the cushion.

The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, glassware and dishes which is great!. The microwave unfortunately was damaged (someone broke the handle) upon arrival however Bryant was very quick to replace with a portable one for our stay! The dining table was VERY wobbly but again Bryant came to the rescue and fixed it the best they could (it's a poor design) and quickly!

We did have the unfortunate event of the AC going down so had to open the whole house up. However the main sliding door screen had been damaged by a previous renter(s) so we could only prop it up to keep the bugs out until bedtime when we shut the doors. I would suggest a few additional portable fans for upstairs as the unit has only a very small one which we gave to the kids.

Overall it is pretty centrally located on the beach, not crowded except for the weekend since the Pier offers public access close to the house. Proximity to the beach was great and an easy private path which was very nice. There is a huge outdoor sho

Pros:
Great view of beach

Great location
Bryant Realty was very nice and easy to book with.
We enjoyed that the guest bedroom was full of books and board games.

Cons:
Uncomfortable, hard beds. (Twin beds were especially uncomfortable)
WIFI didnt reach upstairs.
Only 3 parking passes and we had 4 cars. We made it work but be aware of.
Would have been nice to have more toilet paper provided. (1-2 rolls per bathroom was provided for a 7 night stay.)
The check in email from Bryant Realty mentions several coupons for staying at the beach house once you log into their portal or download the app. We did not see any of these coupons mentioned. The last day at the house, we found a coupon for a free appetizer to Bluewater, hidden and half covered by magazines would have been nice to make the coupons visible so we saw them before the last day of our trip. We did not see any coupons in the online portal/log in either and no one at Bryant mentioned this to us.
The downstairs (entrance to the home) smelled like a wet carpet, mold smell covered by cleaning products.

We had a great time at the beach. Our main objective was to stay at a place within walking distance of the beach and that goal was achieved. Some of our cons made the house itself a touch less enjoyable; however we spent most of our time at the beach or outside. The house is a little older, so based on the price we paid we were expecting the interior to be a little nicer (new furniture, carpet, etc) but overall were very pleased with our stay.
We really enjoyed working with Bryant Real Estate - everyone we spoke to was very nice and extremely helpful in working with us. Thank you!!!

Nice place at the best spot on Wrightsville Beach. They recently updated some of the interior, which was all great! Very happy to see that done finally. This is an excellent place to relax with a private walk out to public access. Property is the first beach front just north of Johnny Mercer pier. Best spot on the beach in my opinion.

Bryant Real Estate is the best for rental management! Kind, courteous, knowledgeable. This condo is in a very good location. It was reasonably clean but could use some updates and replacement of broken items. We hope that the owner will add new beach toys and chairs (all old and broken), a new kitchen garbage can, and do something else with window and sliding door coverings. Just a little love for this condo would go a long way! It is close to everything Wrightsville Beach, and the view is amazing. We enjoyed our stay.
