Beach-Wrightsville Trip

We loved it. Steps away from the beach and convenient to coffee shops and restaurants. Rental Agency was top notch and we couldn't have been happier. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Geat Stay

The house was great. The layout and location were perfect for us. We loved the second tv/seating area and overall charm of the house. It was very cozy and inviting. The pet friendly items (blankets, poop bags, etc) were a great touch. Acess to the beach was simple and historic Wilmington is a short drive away. We will definitely be back.

Great House and Location

This is the second extended stay at this house. It is clean, comfortable, and clearly the owners care a lot about it. Amazing location just off the beach path, and just a few blocks to the shops. Kitchen basics like dish soap, sponge, any cleaning products were in short supply or non-existent so bring your own. Otherwise, a great place to visit and spend time away.

Bungalow beauty!

Perfect beach bungalow! Beautifully decorated with comfy sofas and beds. Bose speakers in all the rooms and all the dishes we could ever need in the kitchen. Huge front/side porch for coffee in the mornings and a sweet little back porch for afternoon sun and cocktails! Hop, skip and a jump from everywhere you want to be at Wrightsville. Parking was excellent and we loved the outdoor shower. We will absolutely book again next year for our staycation! Loved Surf Charlotte!

Perfect Vacation House

The house is great - space enough for our family of four and our dog. Steps to the beach plus the amazing porch where you can sit and listen to the waves. Walkable to a few restaurants and bars as well as a coffee shop. Ideal location. We will definitely be going back!

Charming Accommodations & Great Location!

Nice roomy cottage. Well located and perfect for six people and a dog. A sliver of an ocean view and just steps from the beach path. Professionally decorated, clean and well stocked. Three roomy bedrooms with comfortable beds (not great pillows). Two non-private bathrooms (one redone, one not). We would definitely stay here again!

Good house. Good location. Beware excessive pet fees !

OK house with a great location. Nothing modern or fancy but a good house nonetheless. Not beach front but very close. Only complaint was the excessive pet fee. We were not aware until we were booking and unfortunately the house was our only option for our dates and the location we needed. There was a $200 pet fee PER PET! I do not recall seeing that in the listing itself. We were charged $400 for two 10 pound older, lazy dogs. I have never paid that much in pet fees and we travel often. My wife often will clean any rentals upon leaving, so we left the place spotless. So again, $400 for the pets was a bit ridiculous and was a bit greedy if you ask me. If you want to charge money upon discovering any damage from a pet that is one thing, but to charge this amount up front is crazy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Surf Charlotte is in a great location; quiet and close to the beach.

Weekend getaway we needed

The property is exactly as described. We really enjoyed the location, layout, comforts and various sitting spaces. Pleasant surprises: there's a screen that blocks the front deck stairs so dogs and children don't go down the stairs. The outdoor shower is amazing. Something I wished I packed: Hairdryer. The warm air did the trick, but it looked horrible. LOL It's one house away from the beach and walking distance to town. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this rental.

This is our second time at Surf Charlotte. Lots of space and beautiful decor. We loved our stay.

The house has a great layout, is nicely furnished, and the location right of the beach path was fantastic. The staff at Bryant Realty were very helpful and professional. I would definitely stay again.

4/10 Poor

Nice house but lacking amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice and had plenty of space and rooms. We were very disappointed with the company that provided things like trash bags, dishwasher detergent, towels and the fact that there was a additional charge for having beds made. No hose attached to faucet to rinse off after being on the beachFor a 5 day stay and the price per night I think only providing 1 trash bad and 4 towels is not appropriate for that price point. Stayed at MANY Vrbo homes which were managed much better. Disappointed

Big dog beach house

This place was awesome for us with our big dog! The gate on the deck gave him free range to look around outside without worry of him running onto the street to visit others. The house was quite spacious and well maintained. We did have someone get locked in the master bedroom because the doorknob was broken, but we reported it and were assured it will be fixed. I’d go back! Today. I’d go back today. 😁

Almost great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the house and its location. Well furnished and comfortable. Outdoor deck and seating very pleasant. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by an absolutely filthy kitchen on arrival. Dirty dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils in shelves and cupboards. Unusable dishwasher. No dish cloths or oven mitts. Fortunately, Bryant was willing to send a top-notch team to rectify. It took two energetic young people an hour and a half of steady work to get the kitchen in decent shape.

A Classic Home, Thoughtfully Renovated

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of five (including three teenage boys) absolutely loved our recent stay at Surf Charlotte! The home has an excellent location, just steps from the beach. The beds are comfy and the living spaces are nicely appointed. We ate all of our meals outdoors on the large covered porch. The outdoor shower was the perfect place to wash off the sand from the beach. During Covid, we traveled through NC as a family, cooking our meals and keeping distanced. Of all the wonderful places we've stayed over the past 14 months, Surf Charlotte was by far our very favorite. Bryant Real Estate is fantastic, too -- love their app! And they provide useful information (like how garbage day works) just when you need it. Great service and very professional!
