Graduation at the beach

Our family gathered to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. There was space for all but an odd layout for the home. The space was clean but the boardwalk to the beach needs repairs. Could upgrade the amenities but overall worth the price.
Manager response on 2019-07-02 - Response from Bryant Real Estate
Hello, Ms. Wang, and thank you for your review! Lax on The Beach is indeed a unique and charming beach cottage, and we are glad you enjoyed your vacation! Thank you for your feedback regarding the boardwalk to the beach. We are happy to report that repairs have been made and the boardwalk is in great shape for future renters. We hope to see you back in Wrightsville Beach again soon!

Great for the Weekend!

This was our 12th annual girls trip to the beach and this place was just OK. Really needs some updates to bathrooms and kitchen. The oven was probably the original from when the house was built in 1955 and took forever to bake. The refrigerator is a bit small for as many people the house will accommodate. The description didn't make it clear you had to access the separate floors from outside. A little inconvenient, just wish we knew ahead of time. One of the parking spots in the driveway was nestled on an ant mound and my friends car was infested with ants on the inside. Bring bug spray as we were eaten alive sitting on the deck looking over the ocean. Great location and walking distance to the Oceanic Restaurant. Plenty of beds for a large group. Bryant Real Estate is always good to work with and we will use again.

Hello, Ms. McGee, and thank you for the review. More importantly, thank you for your many years of business! Please feel free to call our office directly next year so our team of Reservationists can help you find the perfect property for your next Girls' Getaway! Thank you for letting us know about the ant-hill-issue in the driveway. We are happy to report that those "locals" have been taken care of as part of an effort to clear up the landscaping around the property.

We had a wonderful time at Lax on the Beach! The property was exactly what our large party was looking for. From the crows nest deck to the boardwalk beach access, the property met all of our needs, and then some. And can you say, plenty of beds? We all could!

While the beach was great, the house was a bit more “worn” then expected. Pots and pans were beyond disgusting and the a/c vent hadn’t been cleaned in months (after bringing the a/c vent and the many pots and pans beyond safe use to the attention of Bryant Realator, they did replace and clean and replace the a/c filter).

It was a nice vacation. Home was nice and clean. Nice access to the beach.
The basement had a must odor, we didn’t find any paper towels, and the vacuum
didn’t have a bag.

Guys Weekend Before the Big Day

Reviewed on 2019-01-13 by Jay W. of Charlotte, NC US
Updated on 2019-01-30
Review of stay from 2019-01-01 to 2019-01-05
Overall satisfaction
I rented the "Lax on the Beach" holiday for the days leading up to my wedding at Wrightsville Manor so that my single guy friends and I would have a quiet and conveniently located house to the wedding venue. The house was everything we needed for a guys retreat. Plenty of beds, beautiful views and conveniently located.

Things we liked: We really loved the wrap-around deck with views of the ocean along with the boarded walkway down to the beach. The crows-nest deck on the roof was another added plus. The location is also very convenient to all the restaurants and coffee shops on Wrightsville. Add to that, you're only a few minutes from all the action at the intracoastal.

Things we didn't like: I really don't like "bring your own linen" properties. For the price you pay, it just seems tacky. I had guests flying in from around the country so it's not economical to bring our own linens and toiletries. So I rented the linens ahead of time. The linens I rented were folded and in shrink wrapping obviously noting that they were unused. However, for the money, I would have liked for the beds to have already been made. The kitchen is also dated. The oven was hard to work. For families looking to cook at home, you'll have a tough time. Lastly, the house is two floors and you have to go outside to go between floors. The main floor sleeps up to 6 with bunk-beds downstairs for several more people.

Summary: Great house for a guys retreat. I would not recommend for a family with kids planning to stay in for meals.
Manager response on 2019-01-30 - Response from Bryant Real Estate
Jay, We are glad to hear that the home and location were convenient for you and your group. Unlike typical VRBO rentals, Bryant Real Estate is a professional management company, therefore there are some differences which we advertise in our listings and list in our rental agreement. This was the first year we included linens with our weekly rentals, and we may continue to evolve the services included, such as bed making and including linens on short stays, in the future. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and hope you will join us at the beach again soon!

I will first day that the company was easy to work with and made sure we had what we needed.
We had a group of 10 friends stay 2 nights. There is nothing fancy about this house, but it worked well for our group and had plenty of room. It was not clear to me that the only way to access the downstairs is to use the outside steps. This was odd, but didn’t cause issues with our group.
The views of the ocean are great from the porch and the upper deck. The location of the house is perfect and not on a very busy street.
