About this property

Pet Friendly Single Family Home w Sound Views!

“Sandy Paws” is a very popular single-family cottage located on a quiet dead-end street near Banks Channel. This one-level family-oriented cottage is meticulously maintained and offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and welcomes your four-legged best friend! With all the comforts of home, ample parking, and a convenient central location it is easy to understand why this charming cottage has been a guest favorite for many years.

The open floor plan makes a perfect space to host your family while giving space for everyone to spread out. A pass-through window in the kitchen that opens to the dining room ensures that the chef of the family can always be part of the action. The kitchen table gives a cozy space for all to gather and enjoy family meals or a board game. There are two covered porches located off the front of the house that can be accessed from the dining room and living room. Furnished with tables and chairs, this is the perfect spot for watching magnificent sunsets and sound views in the evening. After watching the sun set over the Intracoastal waterway, you can sink into the comfy sofa and enjoy your favorite movie on the convenient Roku TV.

A large shaded screened-in porch off the rear primary bedroom is a great get-away spot for guests seeking some peace a quiet. Furnished with outdoor love seats, lounge chairs, lamps, and tables, this is the preferred space for curling up with a good book. At the end of the covered carport is a private fenced garden area with a charcoal grill and picnic table so that you can enjoy grilling in the beautiful beach weather and salt air. The primary bedroom has two queen beds, a private bathroom, and direct access to the back deck.

Down the hallway you will find two guest bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed. There is a hall bath that services the guest bedrooms and access to the rear screened porch at the end of the hall. With 3 covered porches, plenty of outside space to lounge, and a small sandy beach that emerges at low tide at the end of the street – everyone in the family will have a great time playing in the calm waters of the Intracoastal. And don’t forget that the ocean access is just 1.5 blocks from the cottage!

Wrightsville is our favorite

We don’t live too far from Wrightsville and we love it. It was great to stay for a week rather than just coming for the day.

We used the weekend to celebrate the 14th birthday of one of our sons while also in town for a football tournament for our older son. The house we stayed in was perfect. From cleanliness to location, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Summer Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfect for our quiet little getaway. We were surprised at how well it was stocked with supplies (including beach gear!) and we appreciated the cleanliness and cute little pet friendly touches. Short walk to the beautiful beach, and the kids absolutely loved hanging out at the channel - it was great for finding crabs & shells, plus amazing sunset views. We’d definitely stay here again if we decide to go back.

Clough vacation- need an earlier check in time 4PM is too late

I had no problem with the property except there were ALOT of cockroaches in the outdoor shower and one was in the living room! The website stated that bedding, bath towels, beach chairs etc were not included in the property. They were and it would have saved me a lot of room in the car if I did not have to bring that stuff. Bicycles would be nice to have as well

Nice house

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation was very nice and the house is good but needs a bit of upkeep done (dishwasher is a little temperamental, salt has corroded some of the faucets, etc.) The house itself is clean and checkout was easy until we were called after the day we left, to ask us to vacate. We were over 300 miles away at that time, had used the SMS checkout. It would have been nice if they had actually knocked on the door and asked the people in the house who they were before calling and texted me to say get out.

Sandy Paws

The AC wasn’t working the 1st night which was rough. But, it was fixed quickly on Sunday morning or a few hours after notifying Bryant. The steps to the sound had been washed away and according to a resident had been in bad condition for sometime due to a boating accident. I had invested $400 in renting several kayaks and paddle boards for the week and would have to carry them for several blocks if not for another renter allowing us to use their dock at the end of the street. The pictures for the rental should not include these steps as they do not exist. Overall, however, I was pleased with the amenities, location, cleanliness and value.

The House yes, Bryant Real Estate not so much!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and well equipped. The first code for the front door given by Bryant Real Estate did not work. We asked for an early check in and were allowed to check in 15 minutes early, by the time we got to the house it was 4pm. The neighbors in 24 W Oxford were very loud and let their dogs roam freely, I realized I left my new bathing suit, cover up and shorts and tshirt when I got home that Saturday night. I called Bryant Real Estate and spoke to Lisa, she said she would call housekeeping and have them check and call me back, she never called back. On Monday I called Bryant Real Estate and was told that the property manager said I would have to wait until the current renters leave before housekeeping could check for my items, asked them if they could call to find out if the items were still there since I was in town. Was told a flat No! Told them I could stop by there since I was in town and was told that I would be trespassing. We have rented from Bryant Real Estate for over a decade, but after this experience and the terrible customer service, we will NOT be back. Too bad because I really like this house.

Sandy Paws is great, Bryant Real Estate is unprofessional

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sandy Paws was the perfect location for our family. Inlet views and a short walk to the beach. Clean and cozy. 16 days AFTER we checked out, I received an email from Bryant Real Estate notifying us we were being charged $180.82 for breaking a door (that we did not break.) Despite five phone calls placed the week of July 10 and an email to Krystal Dorman and Daniel Perkins, we have been unable to get them on the line to discuss the charges. They charged my credit card and will not return or answer my calls. We received a brief email stating we did not need to continue to call them because they knew that we called - yet they won't call us back. The bathroom sink was clogged upon arrival and instead of complaining to Bryant Realty, we made an extra trip to store, purchased Draino and treated the clog ourselves. I regret that bit of generosity on our part now that they are charging almost $200 for something we didn't do AND being unwilling to discuss it with us. The door in question is a utility closet that is blocked by a large living chair. We had no reason to move the chair to access a door that has a deadbolt lock on it. Rent Sandy Paws (they are pet-friendly) but do NOT use Bryant Realty.
