Description

Looking for an economical and pet friendly vacation spot on Wrightsville Beach? Here it is!

“Craft Upper” is a classic Wrightsville Beach 1940’s style top floor unit within a duplex. In a great location, positioned just across the street from the Oceanic Restaurant, Crystal Pier, and is only steps to the nearby public beach and sound accesses. The covered front porch is perfect for people watching, outdoor dining, or relaxing while taking in the salt air.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit is all about spending quality time with family at the beach. Despite the traditional configuration of the home, the living room, dining area, and kitchen offer plenty of space for families to spread out while keeping everyone together with a somewhat open concept. This home has everything you need for a beach getaway without all the frills and unnecessary clutter.

The kitchen is functional and well equipped for preparing meals but there is not a dishwasher included among the appliances provided. A side door off the kitchen gives easy access to the outdoor deck and living space. The kitchen and dining area are combined, making for a wonderful gathering space to share home cooked meals that has helped families reconnect and make memories for generations.

The master bedroom is outfitted with a queen bed, large closet, and private bathroom. There is another guest room with a full bed that shares the hall bathroom with the twin bedroom. The hall bathroom has a stackable washer and dryer for added convenience.

For larger family gatherings, rent the W154 “Craft Lower” unit which is directly below for a total of 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - contact Bryant directly for details.

Occupancy: 6
Stay Requirements: Sunday to Sunday rental in summer.
Bedding Configuration: 1 Queen, 1 Full, 2 Twins
Parking: Parking for 2 cars in driveway.
Prohibited: No smoking.
Pet Policy: Dogs welcome with a nonrefundable fee that is charged per pet. Maximum of 2 dogs per reservation.

Bryant Real Estate, established in 1952, is a professionally operated firm that is licensed in North Carolina and hired by the property owner to manage “W153 – Craft (Upper Unit)” as a vacation rental.

The service provided by Bryant Realty was, for the most part, punctual, professional, and friendly. However, there was one instance that was not acceptable having to do with a scheduled visit from a pest control company. We were not asked if this was agreeable or convenient but instead received a "courtesy call" telling us this would be occurring at some point during the day. For a family on vacation with several small children (with nap times) this felt invasive. Having grown up at Wrightsville I do fully understand the need for pest control but this should be scheduled when the unit is not in use. The house on Sunset Ave. looks and feels like the older beach houses that I grew up with. The location is great and I would consider renting again solely because of the location. The owner of the house does need to step up and replace furniture that is damaged, blinds that are damaged and the hole in the wall in one bedroom should be repaired (also, the floors need a very thorough, deep cleaning). The kitchen equipment is adequate but piecemeal. The house rents for less than some of your other properties and amenities commensurate with the rental price point would be expected. Although this house may be considered a lower level rental, basic upkeep is not what it should be. So, I have given you a rundown of what I see as the shortcomings of the property but I will close by saying that our visit was pleasant overall. I hope you will excuse the delayed response, but we have been quite busy since returning home. If you have any questions please contact me.

Manager's Response

Bill,
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and apologize that you were not given advance notice of the pest control service. We understand how this type of service can be disruptive, especially with children, and appreciate your understanding of this necessary treatment. We will work to improve the timing of the pest control with this owner to limit any interruptions to our guests. We have shared your concerns with our internal maintenance and hospitality departments and would like to reassure you that we will take steps to improve the home to ensure future guests of this home enjoy a more relaxing stay. We appreciate you choosing Bryant Real Estate and hope to see you at the beach again soon!

Craft upper was a great place to stay. Very convenient location and comfortable accommodations. House was clean. Only problem was with the tvs.We could not get one tv to work and without a paying service very limited channels.

Manager's Response

We are thrilled you enjoyed the Craft unit, Gloria! Our teams work very hard to ensure your stay is as relaxing as possible with detailed housekeeping and inspections prior to stay. We did just upgrade to a Roku TV in the living room which allows you to sign on to subscriptions you already have. I will see if our hospitality department can make some TV instructions to help with use in the future. We appreciate your business and hope to see you back again next time!

A great location for a pet friendly beach vacation. Interior door knobs, master bathroom vanity top (loose), and replace living room carpet are recommended upgrades.

Manager's Response

John, we appreciate your feedback and review from your stay at Craft! It truly is a great pet friendly home and in a great location on the south end close to everything. The owner is planning for some major upgrades this offseason, possibly replacing the living room furniture and much more. I will make note of the living room area rug and see if we can add that to the mix. We are so excited to hear you enjoyed your vacation and look forward to your next stay at Craft!

The location is close to the beach and Sunday’s Café and Oceanic restaurant. There are beautiful beaches here and nice places to walk. Traffic can be a bit loud but that’s to be expected based on its location. The house itself is older and in need of cosmetic repairs as well as more comfortable furnishings. . We enjoy coming here but hope that there will be some updates for comfort and cleanliness in order to return.

Manager's Response

Angie, we appreciate your review and feedback from your stay at the Craft property. The location could not be better, with just a few strides to the beach access and close to everything the south end has to offer. Even though we do not like to hear of problems we appreciate how our guests feel about their experience, good or bad, and take their feedback very seriously as we are always seeking to improve our services. We are truly sorry for any oversight on our end and regret if this detail negatively impacted your overall experience at this lovely property. I am grateful that you reached out to us and we are working with the home owner to get these issues corrected. We are recommending the owner replace the living room furniture as well as some other cosmetic repairs this off season and look forward to updating our guests on the website once completed. We hope that you had some memorable moments while staying at the Craft property this time and hope to see you back again.

I stayed here with a group of girl friends for a low key COVID era bachelorette party. It slept the six of us very comfortably with two double beds, two single beds, and two large bathrooms with roomy showers. Having access to a washer and dryer was SOO nice - just make sure you buy/bring some detergent, because all that is available at the house is fabric softener. The décor is very beachy, sort of what you'd expect in a rental. The front porch was amazing. The couches could use some new cushions/updating, but if you are only sitting on them and don't plan to have someone sleep there, it was fine. I would recommend bringing extra paper towels and prepare to do a bit of dishwashing by hand if you cook in the home, as there is no dishwasher. The oven and microwave worked perfectly, and the fridge was clean. Overall I would say the best perk of this house is the location, as you are just a few feet from the public access at the Oceanic, which is a lovely, family friendly beach access.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review and feedback on the Craft unit, Mariel! We are so happy to hear you all had a lovely weekend at Wrightsville and found the house to be satisfactory! I will make note of your suggestions and pass them along to the property manager to discuss with the owner. We heavily rely on guest feedback to encourage improvements so thank you! The location of this unit is certainly the best part since it's in the middle of both the channel and the beach, as well as near all the restaurants and shops on the south end. We hope to see you back next time, keep in touch!

Manager's Response

Kathleen, we couldn't have said it better! Glad to hear you enjoyed the Craft unit and had a wonderful stay! You are right in that Craft is a well kept unit with a great location, and while it doesn't have all the frills, it makes for a great, affordable home! I'm so happy the unit was found nice and clean on your arrival as we work very closely with our housekeepers to ensure they are meeting our high standards for cleanliness. It's been quite a difficult year with staffing housekeeping so positive feedback is always welcomed! Thank you for your kind words on the unit and we are looking forward to seeing you on your next beach trip!

The was tidy but not clean. You can tell the cleaners don’t spend much time cleaning. The carpets were not vacuum from the previous tenant. The furniture is old and way past time to replace. I am ok with old but not dirty. My wife and I spent 2 hours cleaning when we got there.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your feedback, Thomas! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know the issues you experienced so we can improve our operations internally and also make suggestions to the property owner. Please know that is not the standard for a Bryant rental property. We hold our housekeepers and inspectors to very high standards and expect nothing less. We were not made aware of any cleaning issues when you arrived - but would have loved the opportunity, had you made us aware, to send a housekeeper to your unit right away to reclean. I will make note about the furniture and pass along to the property manager to relay to the owner. The carpeting and upholstery are regularly carpet cleaned so while there may be some permanent staining (pet friendly home), we do keep it very sanitized. The lower unit is very similar to this one, but just underwent some renovations including new dining room furniture and a spring clean if that would better interest you next time! We would love to make it up to you and invite you to visit us again to see the true Bryant standard. Take care!

Great location. The house is older and had a few roaches. The carpets were light colored scrap pieces that were heavily stained with animal urine. Furniture has not been updated in years and is very uncomfortable and the homemade cushions are stained.The floors were extremely dirty, when wiping up water spots, the paper towel turned black. Most dishes were sticky or dirty and the 2 provided frying pans were small and the nonstick surface was too scratched to use. There was no dust pan to clean throughout the week, we had to buy one. The refrigerator had rust spots and parts of the shelves were taped together. The property has a queen bed, 2 twin size beds, and a full size, so it can only comfortably accommodate 5 people-not 6 as advertised. The blinds in every room were broken and mismatched. The front door knob needed replaced from wear and was difficult to unlock and rusted. The master bedroom door knob was broken and just spun around instead of turning properly to open. This has the potential to be a great property, just needs to be properly cleaned, maintained, and a few updates. The lady in the downstairs unit was very friendly, but her dog was unleashed and jumped the low retaining wall and viciously attacked a neighbors dog that was being walked on a leash. It bit the dog multiple times, so be VERY careful if you bring your pet!

Manager's Response

Jennifer, sounds like maybe you missed the mark for your needs when you selected this property to rent this year! The Craft unit is a wonderful property a lot back from the ocean that allows guests to enjoy the proximity to the beach and south end shops without the price tag. There are certain expectations associated with properties in this price range. It's a very cozy cottage but is older as you mentioned, yet still maintained. The owner just repainted the exterior and deck before the season this year, as well as having a full spring clean and carpet cleaning inside. While some stains are still apparent, the carpets and upholstery are sanitized regularly especially being a pet friendly home. We are very honest in our advertising and find the comfortable essence of Craft is demonstrated accurately. Our housekeeping and maintenance staff are available if there is ever a need during your stay and I wish we would have had the opportunity to correct some of your qualms with the property while you were here. We also have a fully stocked closet at the beach office for supplies such as dust pans and cookware had you let us know. I will drop off new pots and pans this weekend and have maintenance look into the door knobs. This is a popular home where the same renters return year after year. It sounds like maybe you are in need of a more updated property which we have plenty of - give us a ring next time you are planning a trip to the area and we can work together to find you the perfect beach rental for your family. Take care!

Craft upper unit is spacious and comfortable. A short walk across the street to the beach or harbor in either direction. Pizza delivery in a matter of minutes. The only complaint was some noisy neighbors one night kept us up 2-3am partying next door.

Manager's Response

Sallie, thank you for your review of Craft and we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. The unit is a cozy beach cottage and offers a nice location between the channel and the beach and is close to all of the shops! The town of WB has a strict noise ordinance that is enforced so be sure to call the local police office next time you hear a disturbance! Hope to see you back on Wrightsville again sometime soon!

Great location- poor weather unfortunately overall for Jan Feb and early March - windy colder and more raisin than expected. Rental was very good save for rugs which were heavily stained that I promptly roiled up and stored til the end.Downstairs neighbors and Mr Craft were very nice. If I were to rent again it would be March 15 - April 15. I need Warner and pkan to go to FL for Jan and Feb next year...

Manager's Response

Donald, it was a joy to host you for the month of March! North Carolina can certainly be a bit bipolar with the weather during this time of the year. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the rental and the awesome downstairs neighbors. The rugs and upholstery are regularly carpet cleaned so they are at least sanitized even though there are permanent stains. Give us a call when you are ready to book next year!

Perfect location for a long weekend!

Loved:
The layout. Spacious.
A/C worked great!
Driveway for 2 cars.
Only 1 flight of stairs.
The porch.
Lots of trash cans, all with trash bags despite their threats about bringing my own trash bags.
Lots of hangers in the closets despite their repeated threats that I must bring my own hangers!
There was dish detergent. Big kitchen sink w/ocean view!

But:
Wavy front porch is a safety issue.
Outside of house needs to be painted.
House has a strong moldy smell.
Kitchen door is stuck. Screen door falling off.
Towel bar on the back of the 2nd bathroom doesn’t hold weight.
Air vents need to be dusted.
Windows painted shut.
Blinds don’t all work. Security lights from neighboring houses blinding at night.
Shower heads need to be replaced! They are disgusting! The master bathroom shower faucet is broken so that it just spins. The bath tub doesn’t drain fast enough the water in the tub with that nasty mat is up to your ankles. The bath mat! YUCK! I hated putting my feet on it.

Also, I’d like to warn other VRBO users that as soon as you reserve this house through VRBO & click confirmed/pay, you are immediately transferred to Bryant Real Estate & forced to sign a 16 page contract.

Suddenly things that were always considered standard to me at other VRBO properties were not so standard. Sheets! Would I like to pay extra to have sheets & even more if I wanted the bed made? I was warned several times that I would not have any trash bags, paper towels & would have 1 roll of the cheapest toilet paper they could find. If I wanted Kleenex, paper towels, more toilet paper, hangers, towels or a blanket, bring it with me.

No lock box or code on the unit! Had to pick up the key from the other end of the island. I did get linens that were like from a prison but they were not put on the beds. Then on the way to my early flight, I had to take drive down to

Manager's Response

Hi Denise- Thank you for your feedback. Please note, as a full service property management company, we have housekeeping and maintenance 7 days a week should anything arise such as mentioned. Being a full service property management company, we are not affiliated with vrbo other than to advertise on their sites, hence our contract and procedures. Thanks again for the feedback, we hope you'll visit Wrightsville Beach again in the future.

Simple beach house with great location. Easy access to the beach - cross Lumina Ave and enter next to the Crystal Pier or the south side of The Surf Suites. The house was clean and appointed with most everything you’ll need to cook and relax at the beach. Bryant responded quickly to a maintenance request and had someone out that day. Good pet friendly option!

Manager's Response

Hi Sherry- Happy to hear you enjoyed your week at the beach! Visit again soon!

On the positive: the management contact with custom phone app, emails, and response was quite good. Though they need to address property condition better. I accept that the propety was an older beach house, but:
1) the blinds s/b able to be closed to keep out neighboring lights at night
2) the air filter hadn't been changed for a very longtime, and may have resulted in why the furnace cut off Friday night with inside temp dropping below 60*

Orherwise the 3 BDR unit was fine and close to expected, tho other units in the area looked in better condition.

Manager's Response

Hello, Mr. Kuly, and thanks for the review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay in the Craft House and that you were pleased with our management services. While we wish you had reported the broken blinds to our Maintenance team during your stay, we are happy to report that they have been replaced.
Also, all of our properties are on a rotating schedule for having the air filters replaced; we even have a dedicated employee for the task. According to the report from our 3rd party heat vendor (who was dispatched as soon as you informed us that the heat was not working properly), the heat went out because of an issue with the LP gas valve on the exterior of the house, which was repaired the same day. We hope that you and yours will return to Wrightsville Beach for future vacations and encourage you to contact our office and book directly through our reservations team to help you find the perfect property for your needs.

HOUSE VERY CLEAN, HAD A GOOD TIME. THE ONLY THING I DID NOT LIKE WAS NO DISHWASHER AND WOULD PROBABLY NOT RENT FOR THAT REASON. I GIVE A DINNER FOR MY SON'S FRIENDS AND WAS NOT
ENOUGH ROOM TO DO THAT WHICH WAS DISAPPOINTING.
FIRST TIME MISSED IN OVER TWENTY YEARS, BUT WOULD RENT AGAIN IF HAD A DISHWASHER. I DID NOT INVITE ANYONE THIS YEAR AND FOUND I GOT TO SEE MY SON MUCH MORE AND FELT SAFE THERE ALONE. MANAGEMENT WAS PROFESSIONAL AND PROMPT.
NORMALLY STAY NEAR MERCERS PIER WHICH IS CLOSE TO MY SON'S HOUSE ON GREENSBORO. PLANNING ON BEING BACK NEXT YEAR SECOND AND THIRD WEEKS OF
AUGUST AND WILL START SEARCH NEXT WEEK. RATINGS ARE A 4

Manager's Response

Linda, thank you for your review. We apologize that there was not a dishwasher in the unit. This is an older cottage and is a more basic style accommodation. We would be more than happy to help you find another home with a dishwasher and bigger entertaining area for your trip next August.

This was our 4th summer staying in this particular rental unit (our 27th summer coming to WB overall). The location is great (close to Oceanic and beach access) and to our family - close to the other rental units our family is in. It has the “beach cottage vibe” but really could use some basic routine maintenance and CLEANING! We will NOT be renting this unit again. The floors need a thorough cleaning and for $20 the DIRTY carpet remnants could be replaced in the living room and bedrooms (or just throw out) We tried to provide constructive feedback but all we got was “most people like the beach cottage vibe” We tried to explain that there is a difference between beach cottage vibe and beach cottage dirt and grime. Bottom line; the location is great; feel like for the price we should be able to expect a little more cleanliness. We did come back several years but each year there were not any improvements and it only seems to be declining.

Manager's Response

Hello, Ms. Leaver, and thank you for your review. We are very glad to hear the you and your group enjoyed the prime location of the Craft Cottage and your vacation here in Wrightsville Beach! We take your feedback regarding the wear and tear on the unit to heart and will be passing it on to the property owner. Please check back with us directly next summer for updates to this cottage or so we can help you find the perfect location for you and your family. Thank you and see y'all next year!

Manager's Response

Kim, we are so glad to hear that you love the location of this house. This property is in a great location with only being a block from both the ocean and sound. I am sorry that there was a large amount of dog hair, but I will pass this information along to our hospitality department. Hopefully we will see you again soon!

Wrightsville Beach is a wonderful place. Craft Upper was at best average. Beds were terrible. Like sleeping on the floor. Property is in need of updating.

Manager's Response

Michael, We are glad you enjoyed the location! This is an older home and is a more basic style accommodation. We apologize the beds were not to your liking and acknowledge that personal tastes vary significantly when it comes to mattresses. We will be glad to inspect the beds to ensure there are no issues with the mattresses, frames or box springs. The photos on the website accurately show the home and while it does not have all the bells and whistles of an upgraded home, it is well maintained and functional. None the less, we sincerely hope you enjoyed your time at Wrightsville Beach and welcome you to contact our experienced staff for assistance in selecting your next vacation rental.

In general we were satisfied with a few exceptions. The mattress was not comfortable, didn’t offer good support. The blinds did not do a good job of shutting out light. Lack of a dishwasher was a minor inconvenience.

Manager's Response

Hi Stephen - I am glad you were pleased with our services but we are apologetic for the issues you described. The beds in question are within their designed life span, but they are on the soft side. Everyone's preference for bed comfort is unique and we are sorry you did not find these comfortable. We have the lack of dishwasher noted and I will have Housekeeping evaluated the blinds for blocking light. Still - this is as you say, an "old style beach property" and we think its price, description, and advertisement align with this. We are glad you were able to partake in our little slice of paradise!

The house was very comfortable w. 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths. Kitchen has everything including a coffee pot and blender. There are neighbors below, but they're very quiet so it was fine.

Great rental for a reasonable rate!

We enjoyed our time in Wrightsville Beach. We had only a very short walk to the beach and the coffee shop around the corner was a bonus! This unit was freshly painted and very clean. The bathroom fixtures desperately need updating for functionality purposes and living room furniture not the most comfortable but otherwise we were pleased with the unit.

This property is in a super location. However, it was in great need of repair to all ceilings and air condition they were hanging from the ceiling. It was relatively clean and all appliances worked well. The front porch was our favorite place to sit and rock. Usually a breeze. I would recommend it to a friend if it were repaired.

Manager's Response

Mary,
Thank you for your feedback; we are glad to hear you enjoyed the wonderful porch and location of this cottage! Since your departure we have been working with the homeowner to complete repairs to the ceiling, this repair is expected to be completed within the next week. Thank you again for taking the time to tell us about your stay and we sincerely hope you will visit this home again to see the improvements first hand!

I rented the beach house for the winter months and absolutely loved it. The location was amazing. You are right beside a coffee shop open year round and then you walk across the road to the prettiest beaches in NC. Staying at the south end you have the best of both worlds incredible sunrises which you can see out the kitchen window and sunsets on the sound side.The house is large and can accommodate all family and friends comfortably. The porch is my favorite for morning coffee and cider in the evening. I gave the property's condition a 3 out of 5 because the furniture in the living room and kitchen could use updating.

I could not pick a better location in Wrightsville Beach. This property is located just a block off the beach with easy access to the public walkway and fantastic coffee shop around the corner. The walk to shops/restaurants is about a mile but you can do the walk on the beach so it's very pleasant. The property itself is very spacious - good sized bedrooms and a big kitchen with lots of storage and a great dining table to seat a large family. It also has a big deck for outdoor eating. Highly recommended!
