Spears–Ocean view duplex with spacious porches, a short walk to the ocean

Wonderful location just a few houses down from the beach, and a few blocks away from the pier. The furniture was comfortable. The unit was clean. It had plenty of space for a small family. It had one guaranteed parking spot, so no street parking was necessary. Convenient to Wilmington and and other beaches on the coast. We will go back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If your looking for a quiet peaceful retreat, this is not your place! The long term rental that is below this unit has 2 guys that keep odd hours. Constant door slamming(often at 3am) Both are smokers and both drive loud trucks. Owner across the street has son that has rock band practice at their house at least 3 days a week. Extremely obnoxious and LOUD!! Landscaping is in need of attention, a lot of dead shrubs and trash on property. Definitely no ocean view!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was leery about no current reviews on this site. However, we LOVED our stay and will stay here again! The long term renters below were awesome and helpful. The beds were comfortable and cool in the evening. Kitchen was outfitted with all your needs. The only recommendation for this property owner would be to supply a hair dryer in the bathrooms. Thankfully, I have a lot of family here in Wilmington, I just borrowed one of theirs. I hope you enjoy this hidden gem as much as we have. Until again Wrightsville Beach xoxo

We found the place very clean, no signs of pests, It’s within walking distance to the beach and the pier. The beds were comfortable. The porch was big with lots of chairs to sit and watch the rain or enjoy the ocean breeze. The whole place was decorated cute and was very welcoming. We didn’t want to leave and look forward to returning.

An outside shower/shower head on the left side of the stairs would be a big help in rinsing off from the beach before going inside. Two very minor details, no cutting board this year and the can opener didn't work very well (things I would want to know if it were my property). Thanks as always for a terrific vacation, we'll be back next year! Barbara

This house was terrible- rat trap boxes in kitchen and living room. The air conditioning broke was incredibly hot until repair man was sent. Bugs throughout house!!! Doors would not stay closed in bathroom and bedroom. A motel 8 stay would be better!

Reviewer Comments: We have rented this unit 3 times previously, but sadly this last experience was not what we had hoped for. There are 3 important areas that need to be addressed: the mattresses are very old and not comfortable (or sanitary feeling), the couch that pulls into a bed is far too shabby, has a unfortunate incline and could not be used to put small children on (we had to buy air mattresses for the kids), and finally the porch furniture is worn out and 2 chairs and the table were not good quality. Previously, the porch is one of the best parts but not when the furniture is so tattered/budget. We have always liked that this property has easy beach access and the neighborhood is mostly quiet. We had 1 incident with loud music from the renter below after 10pm on Saturday. Most disappointing was that it appears that there hasn't been reinvestment by the owners in basic furnishings. The kitchen was adequate but missing things like a salad bowl, serving tray, sharp knives, etc. It seemed a hodge-podge but we mostly eat out. Closets had like 3 hangers and very little was left for toiletries such as soap at the bathroom sinks. There was some mildew on the ceiling in the queen bedroom that was concerning for health reasons. There were odd things left in small piles like paint cans and laundry basket with extra kitchen cushions and table lamp that don't have a real home. Without knowledge of significant updates, we won't consider in the future.

Wrightsville Beach is wonderful and this rental has beach access at the end of the street and is close to lifeguard stands. Clean bed sheets and towels included, but bed spreads and pillow covers were not very clean upon arrival. Bring your own cooking utensils/casserole dishes/specialized dishes if you plan to cook. Beds not very comfortable, especially the master. We cleaned dust hanging from the ceiling air vents. No outside shower but access to a water hose. Again Wrightsville Beach is a lovely beach.
