Description

Enjoy the “Sunny Side” of life in this beautiful 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath sound front single-family home, complete with boat slip, gazebo, hammocks, rockers, and porch swings! It’s tucked away on a private driveway, nestled among live oaks on the quiet south end, just a short walk to the beach and Oceanic Restaurant, it is arguably one of the best locations on the island.

As you enter the foyer there is a guest room with two twin beds and an adjoining full bathroom that can also be accessed from the hallway. There is a formal sitting room off the foyer that is furnished with comfortable seating and a library. Guests of this lovely family home enjoy the spacious great room which features an open concept living, dining, kitchen area. The large living room offers ample seating, fantastic views of the Intracoastal waterway, and gives access to the sound front deck. A large farmhouse dining table comfortably seats 10 people and there is additional bar seating at the kitchen island. The sizable kitchen provides plenty of space for meal prep and storing groceries. Recently renovated to include updated appliances, granite counter tops, beautiful cabinetry, this kitchen is sure to please the family chef!

Just off the main living area is a staircase that leads to the second level of the home which houses the living quarters. A sizable master suite overlooks the sound and offers a comfortable king-sized bed, sitting area complete with sofa and TV, sound front private deck with rocking chairs, and a spacious bathroom with a large soaking tub. The second guest room on this level is also furnished with a king-sized bed and has a private bathroom for added convenience and privacy. There is a guest bedroom with two twin beds close by which is great for kids! Just across the hall you will find a full bathroom complete with a walk-in shower. The fourth bedroom on this level is also furnished with a king bed and serviced by the hall bathroom. The third living level of this roomy home is a wonderful bonus room. Two plush sofas, a flat screen TV, beautiful views of the sound, and a half bathroom make this a great spot for watching movies and relaxing after a fun day out in the sun!

The outdoor space that this home offers is ideal for active families that want to enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest. Conveniently launch kayaks or paddle boards from the dock, fish, relax in the hammock, or grill out with a cocktail while watching spectacular sunsets! Children will especially enjoy playing and swimming at the sound beach that emerges during low tide. Bring the whole family, boat, jet skis, and kayaks - there’s plenty of space and lots to do!

Several things to note: House was great for a large family, we would stay again. The top deck off the master had no furniture to sit on-empty deck! The gas grill is EXTREMELY dangerous-gas coming out of the value while cooking-needs to be replaced immediately! First day of rental, the air compressor? had to be replaced-workmen in and out of the house all day unannounced. One actually went upstairs while my daughter was in her bed and used her bathroom-UNACCEPTABLE! they were messy and uncertain we were there! We survived IAN, very little to no communication about it but we are familiar with hurricanes and knew what to do! Better communication from agency and house needs a little love for next year!

Manager's Response

Thank you Claudia for bringing these issues to our attention. I do see where the A/C vendor was there during your stay to repair the A/C unit that wasn't working and I apologize that it couldn't be arranged while you weren't staying there but it would have been quite unpleasant without a working A/C. I will put in a service request for the leaking gas grill because I don't see that you called to report that while you were there. I will report your suggestion to add furniture to the upper deck. With the beautiful view of the sound I agree this would be a great bonus to have furniture on all of the decks. Thank you again for your suggestions and we hope you will return to Sunny Side again in the future!

What an amazing vacation for our entire family. Perfect location. This home is very well designed for a large family with room for all to spread out. The cozy decor allows all ages to get away and the large open great room/kitchen area provides the ideal space for all to gather for meals, etc. Deck is front/center for watching boats or relaxing morning and night. Our family enjoyed wading in the inlet in the evenings after playing on the beach. We hope to have the opportunity to revisit so that the grandparents can come along again! We enjoyed having everyone together this year. Wonderful memories made!

This house works perfectly for our family. Our third year and we had a great time. Best location to enjoy the Holiday Flotilla and the fireworks. A lot of money has been spent on kitchen upgrades. Fridge is a little undersized, but the two stoves more than handles our Thanksgiving Feast. Back for Four? Probably.

Manager's Response

Welcome back to Sunny Side, Ken! We are so excited you chose us again to share your third Thanksgiving trip with the family. The owners have made some upgrades including new carpeting in the living area and new dining chairs. Being right on the channel and having a personal dock makes for the perfect front row spot for Flotilla, not to mention those famous WB sunsets! Thank you for your kind review and we already can't wait to see you all back next year!

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny Side. Plenty of space and we especially appreciated the multiple hang out spaces, including the quiet reading room at the front of the house, the loft area on the third floor, and the large living room on the main level. We also liked the large dining table and spacious kitchen which more than accommodated our group.
The room layout was great for our family. There are some design quirks - like the glass door into the primary bedroom and the lack of blinds on the windows in the primary bedroom. I do understand the desire to maximize the views to the Sound, which were fabulous! Bathrooms are a little dated but no issues at all. The location is the best - with a short walk to the beach, Sunday, South End and Oceanic.

Kristin, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Sunny Side and all the wonderful things it has to over like that gorgeous channel front view and dock. Sounds like it worked out perfectly for your group! I'm unsure about your comment regarding lack of blinds - every window in the house has blinds except for the ones in the stairs so there should be ample privacy in each bedroom, living room, and dining area. I will make note for desired upgrades in the bathrooms and pass that along to the owners for review - we work closely with them during the off season to encourage improvements! We hope you will choose this unit again on your next visit to the island.

Buffy, thank you for your review of Sunny Side. We are happy to hear you had a good time at Wrightsville and hopefully enjoyed your week's vacation. I haven't heard anything about the dock traffic but it is a private dock so should not be impacted by others! The private beach area is certainly one of the best aspects of this home allowing you to relax on the channel if desired for a break from the beach! Come on back anytime.

Sunny Side was in a great location and the sound side dock was perfect for our boys who love to fish. The layout of the house was good for us, with one bedroom on the main floor and four on the second floor. We went later in the season, so the house was showing its wear from the quick turn around times and rental use, so some of the high touch points were a little grimy. The kitchen was mostly well appointed, but was missing a couple of basics (cheese grater and pizza cutter some to mind).
One thing for future renters to note: The owners of this property revoked our reservation 3 weeks before our scheduled stay. I had booked it 9 months in advance. While we were able to get it reinstated, the 3 days of panic trying to find another place that could house all of us wasn't worth it. We were going to have to book at another beach since nothing was available in WB and we had already made camp, fishing and kayaking reservations at WB. Bryant Real Estate did their absolute best and worked with the owner to relocate their last minute vacation instead of ousting us. I will continue to work with Bryant for future rentals, but will not rent this particular house again simply due to the property owners.

Natalie, we appreciate your feedback and review for the Sunnyside property. It surely is in a wonderful spot on the island, right on the sound with your own private beach and dock area. Glad to hear the layout worked perfectly with the many spacious rooms and bathrooms throughout. The kitchen is fully stocked with all our required items and quantity to occupancy. We do not require items like pizza cutters since those are more specialty items, but do stock them at our beach office if there ever is a need for them! Give us a call next time and we can run any items down you may need. We are so sorry to hear about the canceling of your reservation and the stress it caused your family. Unfortunately with vacation rentals, the owners reserve the right to use their property and as stated in the contract we have the right to move you or cancel based on a number of circumstances which is never something we like to do. We are overjoyed that she had a change of heart and your family was able to come as planned and have a wonderful vacation. We hope your next visit will be much smoother on the booking side of things and we look forward to making it up to you. Take care!

Bryant was able to help us check in earlier than 4:00 PM which was so wonderful because of all of the different schedules of our guests. I can't thank them enough for the great customer service. It made the beginning of our vacation so much easier! The boat dock is great because we bring a pontoon boat for the week and it's such a great location. The communication process Bryant provides is exceptional and keeps you up-to-date with all aspects of the rental. I think this was around our 7th - 8th time renting the property and it is a wonderful experience.

Manager's Response

Haydn, we are so happy to host you back again for your repeat stay at Sunny Side! This year we are really trying to get guests in as early as possible once the unit has been cleaned and inspected, and any maintenance projects completed - glad you were able to snag an early check in this time! The home offers a private beach area by the channel which is a nice change of pace while still being situated only a minute walk from the beach access. Sounds like you took full advantage of the dock as well and hope you all enjoyed your time out on the water! You can always rent kayaks and paddleboards on the island for the channel which is a lot of fun too. Thank you again for all the kind words about our company, and we appreciate your loyalty with us over the years and hope to see your group back next time!

First, the location is wonderful with a lovely yard that leads to your own dock. The upper and lower decks overlook the sound and you can literally spend all day watching the boats pass by. The masterbedroom is amazing with a deck leading off which is perfect for a sunset cocktail. The other bedrooms are much smaller by comparison.

The main living area is lovely and the dining table can seat about a dozen people. The kitchen is just off the main living area. It's the only part of the rental we didn't just love. Great space, but not much cooking equipment provided. If you plan to do a lot of cooking, I would bring a few of your favorite things. The grill worked well though. Plus, you're within walking distance to the Oceanic restaurant, which is a definite plus. Overall great week in a lovely home.

The house that we have rented for the last 10 years was taken off the market. So we picked this home.
The house has a great open layout. It definitely shows its age. However it was clean. The master is super bight and very warm. I had to go buy blackout shades. For some reason we didn't have more than about a foot of sandy beach. The day we left there was a larger area of beach. Maybe just a strange tide the 9 days that we stayed. We had no internet for about a week. That was difficult as I had 2 students trying to turn on assigments. The dock was new and really nice. We loved all the decks. We are looking forward to returning.

We plan to stay here next summer. We are "beach" people, so unless it is raining, we are either over at the beach, enjoying paddle boarding, kayaking, or goofing around in the sound. Would be thrilled if there was a crab trap! For inside time, we appreciated having several different surfaces for games and/or crafts, as well as TVs (DVDs). Also relieved for access to internet, a necessity when some on vacation must still "work from home" on occasion.

We stayed at Sunny Side for 8 days in October 2015. This is a nice home with a good layout. The house is large and roomy with a nice big kitchen, living room and dining area. The views are spectacular from the large windows, the back deck and the pier. We were treated to a beautiful sunset every evening. We especially enjoyed the rocking chairs on the large back deck. The location is especially good for boaters, as it is at the south end of Banks Channel with direct access to the best fishing areas, away from the bridges.

Finding the house can be tricky as you have to pull into what appears to be a drive for another house. On check-in the house was clean. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues which Bryant addressed promptly. Although the house could use a bit of maintenance, it did not detract from our enjoyment of the house. A few issues of note: the kitchen cabinets were in a bit of disarray, with a hodge-podge of unnecessary items in the drawers and cabinets which made needed items difficult to locate. A good purge and reorganization of the kitchen would be useful. Also, the master bedroom door is a clear-glass French door, which we thought was odd as it did not allow for privacy. I would recommend blinds or curtains be installed that can be closed when privacy is needed. Finally, some of the boards on the pier are worse for wear and could use replacing for safety.

Despite these minor issues we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return.

A good purge and reorganization of the kitchen would be useful. Also, the master bedroom door is a clear-glass French door, which we thought was odd as it did not allow for privacy. I would recommend blinds or curtains be installed that can be closed when privacy is needed. Finally, some of the boards on the pier are worse for wear and could use replacing for safety. Despite these minor issues we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return.

A "Sunny" Week

We could hardly wait to return for a second summer. The view alone is worth every penny, especially from the master suite. However, the light comes in very early, so bring sleep masks. And there is no shade on the glass door to the hall, so bring your own stick-on shade for privacy. Having our own dock is perfect for jet skis and for fishing, but it's sad to see the neglected boat docked there. Water access for swimming and kayaking is easy, and beach access is just across the street with plenty of beach chairs, noodles,etc. available. The gas grill is handy as well. Kitchen supplies are adequate, but you have to sort through a lot of "stuff" to find what you need. Also it would be nice to have ten matching place mats and a smaller portable cutting board. The main drawback to the unit is getting to the house from the street. It's a real aggravation because the driveways are extremely narrow, and it was unclear which drive we were supposed to use. Also, the house next door was still under construction, and the drive was often blocked. The other drive, which we later found out was the one we are supposed to use, is also very narrow and has cars parked there. You really worry about getting your car through without scraping. However, once on the property, space for parking is fine. It's a beautiful place. We'd like to return next year.

Our family loves the house and its location. This was our third year as guests. Improvements to dock area were appreciated. Only thing a little irksome is lack of table linens and sharp knives, and a lot of useless items cluttering the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Also, would be nice to have shades on the doors in master bedroom. Otherwise this place is perfect.

Manager's Response

Hello Ellen - we wanted to thank you for the feedback and for the repeat business! I want to let you know we will be sending our housekeeping team to the property to check and restock the knives as necessary. They will also work to cluttered the kitchen to improve its flow for renters. We were glad you enjoyed the improvements to the dock area. This owner is always thoughtful on reinvesting in the property for the repeat guest such as yourself! We have also reached out to the owner regarding the other enhancements (table cloth and shades) and are hopeful that we will be able to provide them before your next visit in summer 2018!

Sunnyside was the perfect place for our multi-generational vacation. The older child enjoyed the third floor loft, and the rest of us enjoyed the spacious main living area and well-equipped kitchen. The sunset views are unparalleled, and the pier and gazebo saw some excellent fishing during our stay. Low tide allowed a private beach in front of the home which everyone enjoyed.

Manager's Response

Angie- We are glad to hear you enjoyed your week at the beach! Hope you'll visit again soon!

Once we were able to find the narrow drive leading to the house, we were awe-struck by the home's spaciousness and spectacular view. WE didn't want to leave our rocking chairs on the wide covered porch overlooking the sound. The long dock provided space for our two jet skis and could also accommodate a boat. Kayaks were available compliments of the owners. A small beach provided access to the water from the shore. Ocean beach access was very convenient just across the street. The sound view from the upstairs master suite was even more breathtaking. However, without shades on the glass door, sunlight arrived earlier than one might want to awaken on vacation. The other bedrooms and baths on the second floor were small but comfortable. The top floor TV room was a welcome getaway spot. The kitchen was plenty large enough to cook for a crowd, and the dining table seats twelve. However the cooking utensils, pans and serving pieces were in something of a hodgepodge with unnecessary items cluttering the cabinets and drawers. Also the kitchen faucet was very awkward to use. We encountered ants, especially in the kitchen, and a man came over promptly to spray, but we continued to see ants the whole week. There is plenty of parking although tricky to get in and out. These minor inconveniences in no way detracted from an overall wonderful family beach vacation, and we plan to come back.
