Manager's Response

Thank you for your review! I am glad you enjoyed your vacation with this amazing beach front house! It's like two houses in one and the location is fantastic, with restaurants, shops, and the fishing pier within walking distance. We hope that you will make The Blue Heron your vacation go to every time you visit Wrightsville Beach!

Two families came together and we had a GREAT time. Condition of the home was superb and much better than expected. Seemed obvious to us that a recent remodeling had taken place.

David, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope you took advantage of the amazing ocean view from the porch and the spaciousness of the house itself! We can't wait to see you again soon!

Properly is great for a few families. A little dirty when we showed up though (trash from previous tenants, cobwebs).

Manager's Response

Will, we appreciate your feedback! The Blue Heron is a prime spot for large groups to have plenty of room during a vacation! We are sorry to hear the cleanliness was not up to par for you. We wish you would've notified us about the issues, we would have been more than happy to send someone from our housekeeping department to remedy those for you. We do hope, despite the cleanliness of the unit, you were able to enjoy the beautiful home and close proximity to the beach while you were here! We'd love for you to come back to give us another chance on your next trip to Wrightsville Beach!

Nice accommodations. Two separate living areas so kids can have their own space. Close to Johnny Mercer pier with fishing. Very short walk the beach.

Manager's Response

Glad to hear you enjoyed The Blue Heron during your trip to Wrightsville Beach, Daniel! This home was a great choice on your behalf and we're so happy to have shared it with your family. Since it used to be marketed as two separate units, once it was opened up it allows for two kitchens, two living areas, and two dining areas which certainly helps when you have a larger family. The views from throughout the home and on the deck will stop you in your tracks, especially if you catch those famous WB sunrises! We would love to host your family again next time you visit, be sure to keep in touch!

spot is wonderful, good accomadions. bed/bath were good, fully equiped kithens. NO place for family dining. with 6 beds/6bath, only 8 chairs and not a convenient way for all to eat together. also few chairs on decks. b

Manager's Response

Adelaide, thank you for your review and feedback for Blue Heron! We are thrilled to hear you loved the unit, it's stellar oceanfront location, and all the features the home offers! The unit used to be two separate units, cut right down the middle but it was opened up to allow for larger groups. With that separation, there are two living areas, two kitchens, and two dining areas mirror images of each other. Each dining table seats 6 plus the two bar stools next to it. I don't think the floorplan would allow for the tables to be combined but each table while separated, are quite close by! We hope the many upgrades, ocean views, proximity to the beach access, and spacious rooms will bring you back next time you visit Wrightsville! Keep in touch!

We loved this beach rental. It was in a great location and had easy access to the beach. The layout worked perfect for our family which included, adults, teens and little ones.

Manager's Response

This is wonderful to hear, Denise that you loved the Blue Heron property and the layout was great for your family! It used to be a split unit but was opened up to allow for larger groups - so you still get that feeling of separation if desired. It's definitely beneficial that each bedroom has it's own bathroom especially when you have many family members. We hope you were able to enjoy the oceanfront views and relax out on the deck. It's location is certainly one of the best aspects of the unit as well as it's upgraded kitchens and bathrooms. You and your family are welcome back anytime!

Our family had the best time here. The home was perfectly set up to manage all the kids and grandchildren. The location cannot be beat; the views of the ocean and the beach path right next to the house made a day at the beach so convenient. Note that there were beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas at the house for us to use. There are also plenty of closet hangers in the house already. We did pick up a few extra kitchen towels and dish rags to supplement those provided. Enjoy your stay! I doubt you can find a better rental for a large group anywhere on the beach.

Manager's Response

Karen, I could not agree more with you! The Blue Heron is a wonderfully upgraded unit that used to rent as two side by side, but was opened up for a full home so it still has that feeling of separation, which certainly helps with larger groups! Everyone can spread out and have their own space (and own bathroom!). The kiddos have their own bunk bed room which is a kid's dream. It's great to hear your family had the best vacation while at the unit, hearing experiences like yours makes what we do worth it. We are so thankful you rented local with our company, and hope to see you back again next Summer! Please note: For future guests reading reviews, while there are some beach toys and chairs at the unit, these items tend to walk off between guests so always bring anything you know you will need just to be safe!

The weather for the week and the location of this house were both perfect. The setup of Blue Heron is also excellent for our purposes--two families staying together who want to be together but still have their own privacy/spaces. Nicely decorated, comfortable and right on the beach! However, there were some issues right at check-in with housekeeping: no sheets/towels were left for two of the 6 bedrooms, a full dip cup full of dip spit was found peeking out from one of the beds...just sloppy work. (Though when we realized on our check-in Sunday night about the linen snafu, I notified the after hours emergency line and they came right over with the missing sheets/towels). Infrastructure-wise, only 1 of the 6-7 TV's worked, paint peeled off the kitchen cabinet doors when we opened it, our master bedroom sliding glass door handle just fell off in our hands, the master BR shower was clogged when we used it so we had to get a plunger and get it to flow. I sent word about these items to the Hospitality app on my phone on our second day and asked for someone to call--never got any outreach. Renting beachfront is not inexpensive, so you do hope to have a pretty buttoned-up experience. Don't get me wrong--we had a great vacation in the house. But whether the owners need to get in there and do some re-con/refresh or Bryant needs to up their game, this was a little sub-par for the price you pay for a beachfront rental.

Manager's Response

Marcy, thank you for your review and feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed the property and enjoyed all the open space for your group. Sorry for the issues you experienced on check in - I am glad we were able to come out after hours and correct it quickly. We hold our housekeeping and inspecting staff to very high standards so I disagree "sloppy work" would be a way to describe our team. There is a very quick turnaround in peak season to flip the homes for new guests and while we try to avoid any mistakes, they do happen time to time. Maintenance has corrected the TV and sliding door issue since your stay. As for the master bath shower, it is a bit tricky to work - it was not clogged, it is a special drain where you have to pull the tile piece up and it will open the drain. We are happy you had a wonderful stay despite the issues you experienced and hope you will give us another chance next time you stay.

The house was prefect for our use. The two living areas were great, because we were there for my son's wedding and all the grooms man were able to use one side to relax and get ready for the big day! The house was very clean and a joy to stay right on the beach!

Manager's Response

That is awesome, Mark! Congrats to your son on his wedding - we are so happy we could share The Blue Heron with you all for his special day. Sounds like the layout worked out perfectly as well, thank you for your review! We hold our housekeeping and inspecting staff to very high standards so I will certainly pass along the kudos to the team. You are welcome back anytime!

Home is in a perfect location, nicely decorated and steps to the beach. We had issues with the cleanliness of the home but Bryant Realty was very responsive and provided excellent customer service.

We had a great week at this home. Plenty of space and BR's and BA's. Great location and views of the ocean.

We loved our stay here, it is great for a group or multiple families. The home is essentially mirrored down the middle as it used to be two separate side-by-side rentals they combined into one. It's really nice to have multiple living and kitchen areas. The view is incredible, everything in the home as been completely upgraded and it was very clean.

Manager's Response

Hi Christopher- Great to hear everyone loved their stay and enjoyed the upgraded home! Look forward to your next visit!
