Downstairs you will find two bedrooms, both furnished with lush king-sized feather beds that pull you in and let your cares float away. There is a full bathroom with walk in shower and dual sinks that are shared by these rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to make a family meal – it even includes a Margaritaville margarita machine because it is always 5 o’clock at the “Sand Crab Cottage”! Enjoy cooking on the gas range or grilling out and eating at the shaded picnic table.

We are a family of 4 plus our Labrador Retriever, Ryder. We don’t always plan our vacations with Ryder, but sometimes I find a great place where he can come along. Sand Crab Cottage was perfect for all of us. Everything you need is in this adorable perfectly decorated cottage. The porch and fenced-in yard are definitely a plus. The house is very quiet inside. You barely notice you are on the busy Loop. Beds are made and ready upon arrival. Thick white towels and washcloths in abundance. There is a basket full of blankets to use for your dog if they like to be on the furniture (we don’t allow that in our house and did not allow it here) as well as a bunch of cute dog toys. Dogs are not allowed upstairs. It was as if Ryder could read and never bothered to go up there. Beach towels and beach chairs all ready as well. There were a few extra pantry items and some staples in the refrigerator when we arrived. There was dish detergent and hand soaps. Lots of spices and cookbooks. There is a decent coffee maker as well as a French press coffee maker and a huge crab pot in the pantry. Tons of movies, books and games. It was really hot the week we stayed in July, so we kept all the shades closed to help the home stay cool. The AC works well even under the stress of the heat. Bryant Real Estate utilizes an app called Hospitality that was a breeze to use for looking up rental information and sending quick questions, which were answered promptly. We walked to many of the local restaurants. Be sure to flip through the book to see the before pictures of the cottage as well as some of the history. We have stayed at Sand Crab Cottage twice and look forward to future stays.

Our experience there made the process of being out of a home for 6 days much easier - some sunshine in the moving process!

We liked our stay there - the kids room was awesome and there were lots of toys, plus the fenced in yard was the biggest help with our puppy. The big downside for us and what will make us hesitate to rent this space again is that there was NO space to put anything. Most every drawer, shelf, cabinet, basket, and table top was full. It made a longer stay a little tough because we felt so claustrophobic. Finally cleared a few things off so we could have enough counter space to cook. With little kids and a dog it just got overcrowded quickly. It would be awesome if some closets could be cleaned out, bathroom spaces, etc. But loved the location and willingness of owners to clearly go out of their way to make their renters feel at home!

Manager's Response

Carson,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review about your stay at this amazing cottage! We are glad that you enjoyed the location and some of the touches the owner has added to this lovely historic cottage but were a little taken aback by the rating of this property- we have never received this type of feedback from this home. This property has a large following of repeat guests due to the love and attention to detail that the owner continuously pours into every inch of the home. As you mentioned, the kids’ room provides comforts, toys and amenities that are unmatched by any other rental and is thoughtfully furnished to ensure a lasting impression is made on every child! You are correct, the entire home is carefully stocked and furnished to give a very homey feeling; welcoming everyone who enters. We cannot dispute that Sand Crab Cottage provides almost every item imaginable- dog bowls, beach towels, laundry detergent, paper products, outdoor toys, and so on. We apologize if this was perceived as clutter; however, the home is intentionally stocked this way to allow renters the convenience of not having to over pack for a vacation- allowing guests to simply show up and relax! Although, we appreciate every family has different criteria and expectations from a rental home and acknowledge that Sand Crab Cottage may not suit every renter of family. Having said that, we feel that the property description and photos paint a very accurate and true depiction of what the home provides and sincerely hope you found most items to be a comfort rather than a bother. Again, thank you for the feedback and we hope you will visit Wrightsville Beach again soon!

We rented this hours for the Wrightsville Beach marathon. The pics online were so cute and the house didn't disappoint. I must say this is the most well appointed house I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in a bunch. This house truly had everything from beach toys to games to books to CD's, towels and beach towels and toiletries. It's right on the route for the marathon so my family got to sit on the porch and wait for us to run by and get great pics. The dogs truly enjoyed the fenced in yard and there was a huge basket of dog toys and dog treats. The owners even left us a welcome basket with pancake and muffin mix, coffee, candy, popcorn, pen and paper, etc. Such a personal touch. There were so many cute things to look at I'm sure I missed a few. Good sleeping for 6 and parking for 4 cars even though we only had 3. The massive couch was awesome and just what I needed after the run. The house is just a minute or 2 walk to the beach and pier. The porch was awesome and huge. My only negative were all the throw rugs which i kept stumbling over but I'm a klutz.....I'd love to stay in the this house again and for a longer time period.

This our third year at the Sand Crab Cottage and it gets better every year. The accommodations are first class and the owners attention to detail make the stay a fabulous experience. Everything you could think of for a great beach experience is already here.......just bring clothes and food and you're set. The fenced side yard is great with small children and the garage has every beach amenity imaginable. You'll fall in love with this house.

Beautiful welcoming cottage! So comfortable!

Sweet, well appointed house in great location! Very pet friendly down to toys and dog beds! Nice linens and towels, comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen including spices. Our dog loved the fenced in yard and porch. We will definitely stay again!

I spent Christmas with my daughter at the Sand Crab Cottage. This cottage is awesome. It's magazine beautiful but so cozy and comfortable. It has a great location across the street from the beach and in walkable distance from restaurants. It is stocked with everything you need as far as kitchen supplies, paper products, personal care items, etc. The beds are so comfortable. It's like staying at a 5 star hotel but you have your own house. it is amazingly dog friendly with beds, toys, bowls and a fenced in yard and gated front porch. The rental experience was flawless from the beginning to end. I could not have been more pleased with my stay at the Sand Crab Cottage!

This is a great house in a great location. It is a very short walk to the beach and the house has everything possible you could wish to find in a vacation rental. The owners have taken great length to think of ANYTHING you could need. The outbuilding has supplies for the beach and the house is incredibly well appointed from the kitchen to the bathroom and everything in between. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.
