Description

Nestled among the dunes on the northern part of Wrightsville Beach is an elegant, comfortable, and convenient single-family home known as “Madras House”. This expansive home offers three living levels which include 4 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, sweeping ocean views, a game room, private beach access, and so much more. Your family will be spinning vacation tales about this wonderful home for years to come!

The wide foyer welcomes you into a spacious open living floor plan that is accented by abundant natural light and spectacular ocean views. An open dining and kitchen area that features a second breakfast room for informal meals ensures ample seating for friends and family to gather. The well-equipped kitchen offers you a double stacked oven and a reverse osmosis water filtration for the purest water possible. Along with this are two refrigerators, a wet bar in the dining room, and a half bathroom for your guest’s convenience. The spacious deck off the living room has beautiful ocean views along with a covered area and what a great spot to take that afternoon nap in the shade.

The middle level of the home is the sleeping quarters. The spacious primary oceanfront suite has a large king size bed, sitting area that converts to a queen sleeper sofa, and on suite bathroom that offers a soaker tub a zero-entry shower with grab bars. A nearby guest suite offers two queen beds with a private bathroom. The third guest bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed and offers marvelous ocean views. Another guest bedroom with two twin beds is close by and neighbors the hall bathroom that serves the two guest rooms. Also on this floor is the laundry room (washer/dryer) with large counter space, cabinets, separate sink, and ironing board.

The top living level of “Madras House” is a wonderful gathering space as it offers a sitting area with TV, a pool table, foosball table, and a sensational roof top deck where everyone will love hanging out. There is a queen sleeper sofa and a full bathroom on this level which helps it double as a sleeping area for larger groups. A workstation, reading nook, and library of books make this space extremely versatile and offer a great space to escape to. The private top floor deck offers the best panoramic ocean views on the island but also captures the picturesque sound views. A great place to have that evening cocktail and experience a Key West sunset!

There is a boardwalk that takes you directly to the beach and is shared by the neighbor next door. A fully enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a foot washer add to the convenience of this lovely home. There are plenty of beach games in the garage, bocce set, beach tennis and other beach items which you are welcome to use. The garage is not used for parking but has a handicap ramp with a 2-inch rise for each horizontal foot of travel - if needed. Enjoy Carolina living in this spacious beach home – make this a family tradition worth starting and keeping!

Mixed bag on this rental property... many positives and opportunities
Pro:
Perfect location - couldn’t ask for a more beautiful oceanfront beach lot
Size and layout - very nice layout and flow
Linens - fantastic and organized
Beds - slept great
Outside decks - great views from many spots and lots of chairs and loungers
Opportunities:
Dated kitchen - slow coffee pot, no toaster, fridge handle broken and makes ice but you have to scoop it out as door dispenser is broken
Saw a few roaches around kitchen area - they committed to get the place treated
Water came out black in the tub near single bed bedroom
Driveway is tight to turnaround but convenient at the same time.

In summary, overall with some simple upgrades this could be a five star rental

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for your review and feedback from your stay at Madras House, Hilton! We heavily rely on guest feedback to not only improve our services but also to encourage our owner's to make improvements to their homes. I made note of your suggestions and will pass them along to the property managers. We are excited to hear you enjoyed the stunning location and view and found the beds comfortable! The owners have done considerable and costly upgrades in the last two years including all new windows installed for the home this last off season, carpet cleaning, installation of Smart TV's, foosball table, and more! I believe the owners are considering carpet replacement for next season and possibly other updates that we will certainly update our guests on once we know more! We hope your family had a wonderful stay in paradise and will consider renting Madras House again on your next visit. Take care!

Great family holiday!

Home layout, location, and property manager communication was terrific! 4 full bathrooms to go with the 4 bedrooms was perfect for our extended family holiday. Living room was fun for watching the big game together. Fun third floor for older kids. Big porch & easy beach access perfect for grandchildren. Kitchen was large enough for many cooks. Could use new carpet & bigger sheet pans, but great overall. Our group loved this place - all gave two thumbs up. We would all go again! Highly recommend.

Manager's Response

Glad to hear Madras House served as the perfect rental for your family, Paul! The home is very spacious and the owners are continuing to make upgrades throughout to make it even greater. The top floor has a pool table and a foos ball table with gorgeous views of the beach so it's definitely a great spot. The owners are looking into replacing the carpeting likely in the next off season, but they have been carpet cleaned recently! We hope you will choose to stay here again next time, you are always welcome.

Manager's Response

Robert, thank you so much for your review and feedback! We are thrilled to hear the location of Madras House was a win, with every room having either ocean front or sound views! The unit has had considerable upgrades this year, most recently the owners replacing all the windows in the unit. We are working with the owner to add some additional shades and the carpets are already on the list for replacement in the future. I will make note of your comments about the furniture as well and pass them along to the homeowners. We hope you will consider Madras House for your next trip to Wrightsville - there is so many wonderful amenities that make this unit a great pick!

Great experience but had requested the elevator for one of my guests that had hip surgery recently and it was not made available. Property had a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean. House could use some TLC as far as paint and a new coffee maker, the one in the house is slow as molasses. Need caulk for pool table.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your feedback from your stay at Madras House, James! The panoramic views of the marsh and the ocean from this property are certainly something to return for! We are sorry to hear the elevator was not turned on for your visit as it is available for those who have a need for it. I wish you called our maintenance line once you noticed it was off so we could swing by, all it takes is a quick visit to turn on the breaker and our technicians are on call 24/7. The owners have planned for some exciting upgrades and have already been making changes this year including new windows for the entire home, new SmartTV's, foosball table, and more. We hope you will return to Madras House the next time you are in town. Keep in touch!

We had a wonderful week with 13 family members from July 10-17. Two of our adults were handicapped.
One thing we would like to see added is the downstairs bathroom needs a higher toilet and handles for handicapped. Also the bathroom beside the room with the hospital bed and king bed needs a higher toilet and handles. The space is too small to help someone on and off the toilet.
The elevator was wonderful!!!! It worked perfectly!
We did have some issues with huge roaches showing up from time to time - kitchen, upstairs hallway, etc. Needs roach treatment or something.
Overall we had a wonderful week and the maintenance guys came out pretty quickly to fix the door to the deck - it was hard to push and got stuck a couple of times.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review and feedback for the Madras House, Nancy! We are so happy to hear your family had a wonderful week and enjoyed your time there! The home has a few handicap features including a ramp from the garage leading into the house, an elevator, ramp leading out to the back porch, and the middle level master has a handicap bathroom with fully accessible roll in shower. I will make note of your suggestions and see what else we can do! Sorry to hear you had a run in with the "locals"... water bugs are an unfortunate result of the climate of Southeastern North Carolina and a house so close to the dunes and are very common in the area so not unit-specific. The home is on a regular pest control spray schedule which prevents them as much as possible. Hopefully it wasn't too unsightly and didn't impact your overall enjoyment of the unit! The home is quite spacious with many decks so you can catch the beautiful ocean and marsh views throughout! We hope you will come back next time your family visits Wrightsville! Keep in touch!

Extended Family of thirteen spent a wonderful week in the home. The house floorplan allows for privacy and quiet although we had two toddlers running around. The back porch is fenced so that the younger children could play on their own with little supervision required. The house is showing wear and age but everything worked and suited us with our six grandchildren.

Manager's Response

Chuck, this is great to hear that your family enjoyed Madras House! The owner has been busy in the off season starting to upgrade things such as adding a ping pong table, carpet cleaning, adding new Smart TV's and more! There are definitely still some larger scale projects on the way like full carpet replacement and plantation shutter repair but good things take time sometimes! Glad the kiddos enjoyed the backyard and everyone found the home nice and spacious. We would love to host you all again next time you visit the area!

Madras House is ideally located and the house is spacious and comfortable. Our family of 4 spent a lovely week at the house. It does feel a bit "run down around the edges" and could use some sprucing up (stained carpet in the living area, windows that have lost their seal and are permanently clouded).
The internet was not working when we arrived and the management company responded promptly and came out within a couple of hours.

Thank you for your review, Jeanne! I'm delighted to hear you and your family had a wonderful stay at the Madras house. Thank you so much for your suggestions, I have made note to relay to the owners for future projects.

Location location location. Perfect for family w young ones and accessibility to beach. For the price, house is dated. Additionally attention to detail for this level of price is a bit missing. Trash was piled up outside from prior visitor thus making disposal difficult. Most importantly it’s a great location and that’s what we went for. Would recommend updates at this price point and likely it was available as last minute rental on a busy weekend in comparison to similar beach front properties at same price point

We stayed at Madras House last year and looked forward to a repeat of family fun time celebrating a grandchild's birthday. The location is very nice and views awesome. So with guests from different parts of the country it's a great house for coming together while providing privacy when desired. The kitchen is well equipped and comfortable for several persons to move around without getting in each other's way. Not sure if we'll book it again unless some issues are resolved as the house is need of a face lift (new carpeting, repair ceiling leak in Master bedroom, clean vents, etc. etc) Or the rental price should be lowered and these issues explained to potential clients. Overall, the check in -check out process was simple. Having a key code on front door simplified guests' comings and goings. Thanks.

Hello, Colonel and Mrs. Waity, and thank you for leaving your review!
We are thrilled to have you and your family in Wrightsville Beach and staying at the Madras House year after year. Thank you, and we hope you had an excellent vacation!
Every year, during the winter season, we take special care and work in tandem with our property owners to keep their homes in the best shape possible. I am happy to report that this winter, our main focus in the Madras house addresses your concerns. (Good eye!)
The carpets are actually being cleaned and renewed this week, the issue above the master bedroom ceiling has been repaired and repainted, and many of the window treatments are being updated, among other touches. We know you agree that the Madras House is one of Wrightsville's premier vacation homes, and it is our pleasure to keep it in top form for years to come. Thank you for your continued business as well as your feedback, and we hope to see you again soon!

All good, have stayed there now 3 times. Just a few things. Last year the owner saw it was the second time we had rented the house (used to be with Intracoastal) and he volunteered to give us a $500 discount. You can let him know that I would be more than willing to accept that gift again if he wants to do so for July 2019. It would be nice if the owner hired a plantation shutter repair person to come in and fix all the single pieces that have broken loose, there are a good many throughout the whole house. At some point the den furniture could be replaced as well, adequate, but could be a little nicer and more comfortable. Also, you can tell the owner I was able to get the really nasty black grease stains out of the carpet in the master bedroom, no extra charge.

Hello Sam, We appreciate your feedback and have been working with a blind company. We are currently evaluating repairing or replacing the shutters and will get with the owner soon. We will pass along your other comments as well to the owner and we look forward to hosting you again next year!
