Great location on the South End....price reflects the age of the unit compared to other units on the south end....good price considering the location but you have to expect that the unit is "older" in most ways.

Manager's Response

Kenneth, we appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback! This upper level duplex does some charming qualities, making it perfect for those who love the older beach house feeling. However, the house has been updated with newer living room furniture, and bedding in all the bedrooms. One of the best aspects of this home is the covered porch, which we hope you took advantage of during your stay! We hope the majority of your time with us was enjoyable and that you'll stay with us again for your next vacation!

Great location and comfortable home

This rental is just a few steps from the beach access and sound access so you're not far from surfing or kayaking. Plenty of parking - we had three cars and could have squeezed in one more. Walking distance to Sundays Cafe (I recommend The Web) and Oceanic Restaurant/pier. Great surf spot right across the street, beautiful clean beach. The place itself is comfortable and spacious. Kitchen is perfect if you eat out - bring a good knife with you if you plan to cook and maybe a big pot if you want to make pasta or steam some seafood. Love the wrap-around deck with stair access in the front and back. Nice yard and grilling area out back. Enough room to entertain - had the kids and their college friends for dinner. Would stay here again for sure.

Manager's Response

Sounds like The Gray Whale was the perfect rental for your family vacation, Bebe! Thank you for your kind and thorough review from your stay with us especially highlighting all the perks of Wrightsville's south end! This property is very cozy and well maintained. The homeowner recently cleared trees around the property which brightened up the interior and provided a lovely view of the ocean across the street that was previously hidden. Glad to hear you took full advantage of the wrap around porch, which is a great place to relax on the many outdoor furnishings while enjoying the nature around you. We are thrilled that your family enjoyed their stay and would love to host you again on your next visit. Keep in touch!
