Previous reviewers need to relax. For the place you canât beat the location or the property. Is this the Plaza, no, but itâs an awesome place within steps from the beach. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again.
Pros: Property is in a great location!!! Easy walk to beach and the main restaurants/bars in Wrightsville. House was clean with upgraded bathrooms.
Negatives: Granted it was a hot weekend but A/C struggled to get upstairs below 75 even at night. WiFi was terrible so unable to watch TV in early am or at end of day.

As always, we love the Wrightsville Beach area! The beaches are so clean and the water is always warm and clear. As for the rental, although a few upgrades have been made, still not really worthy of the rental cost. When we arrived at 5pm the cleaning crew was still there. TThe garbage disposal did not work, but was eventually serviced. The window cover on the front door looks like an 8 year old installed it. The master bathroom upstairs has a dark ring around the drain (looks to be permanent) The tv in the living room didnt work properly all week (but thats typical every year)Over-all a decent place to stay. Still needs a few upgrades.

Great location but the condo was gross. The outside shower wasnât usable because the floor was falling in. Every shower had horrible stains. The bedspread obviously hadnât been washed in awhile. It smelled like sweat, so I washed it before when we got there. The Wi-Fi that we were given at checkin was incorrect, but we were able to correct that the next day. The dryer screeched like a banshee. The master shower door didnât work but Bryant came out and fixed that. The carpet is faded and worn out. Generally, I felt like I was in a frat house. I should have known when there werenât in reviews in the past 2 years.
The house is right next to beach access. The beach is great and not too crowded and very family friendly. The house was plenty big enough for 6 adults. With a couple of porches to sit on. Comfortable beds. TV and cable in all bedrooms and living rooms and good wifi.
I would say the only thing is the furniture is very outdated and could do with sprucing up. The sectional sofa in the living room is pretty old and lumpy and everything looks like it's from the 80s! The kitchen looked like it had a recent refurbish and there are plenty of appliances and utensils. You will need to bring everything with you to cook however as there are no condiments etc..
However it was a great spot Wrightsville has easy access to wilmington and tons of restaurants and shops.
The realtor was very nice and called us a couple of times on route to check in and during the week. The realtors office is a 2 minute walk. Check in was very easy.
Parking is available for 2 vehicles and you will receive permits. There is a ping pong table in the car port but it was too hot to use it. There is an enclosed outdoor shower to wash off from the beach - it could do with some tlc!

My family and I have been renting the Hawes townhouse for 10 years now. I must say this last rental (July 10-17) was probably one of the most disappointing. Not sure where the description of "recent upgrades" came from, but we didnt see any upgrades. Matter of fact we saw a disappointing lesser place than we have in the past. If you can please pass along this information to the owner, it would me most appreciated. -we have seen an increase in rental price each year and a decrease in quality of the unit. -pots, pans, dishes - every year there is either a shortage or missing items. This year there were plates, bowls etc, stored in the cabinet over the refrigerator. You have to be 6'7 to reach the items-1st floor bedroom - the twin beds are in need of new frame/matteress-back bedroom upstairs, the chair is way out of place and when you sit in it, you sink to the floor-the deck table was broken, one of the legs. -the carport area looked like it had not been cleaned/swept in ages -TV in the master bedroom did not work. Took 2 days for a tech to come out an look atOver-all, probably one of the most disappointing rental years we have had! We have renewed for next year because we like the location and we have other family members staying on the street. Hopefully our return in 2022 we will find a unit more suitable for what we are paying for. Thank You!
Hawes was unacceptably dirty, outdated, and trashy.

Our stay at Hawes was overrun by dirty furniture, nasty rusty indoor showers, stinky floor tile, old dirty bedroom carpets. Outdoor furniture was trashy, old, and strewn all over. Kitchen utensils and pans/pots hadnât been updated since the first day that house was built. Everything was greasy. The water smelled like rotten eggs. The oversized living room furniture was packed into a very small space and was sticky and smellly. The TV didnât work. The blinds were 40 years old and broken. We gambled renting this house because the reviews were not good but there were no other houses left so we thought how bad can it be?? It was UNACCEPTABLE! Even if the owner doesnât fix this property Bryant Reality should not rent it out -especially for that price. So disappointed.

Five stars for location. Three stars for everything else. Hawes has so much potential but missing so many finishing touches that would make it perfect. The kitchen, although fully stocked with cookware, there are few matching pieces and everything is mismatched. If you need a lid, you have to cobble one together. The knives are impossible to use because they are so dull. Most of the dishes looked visibly dirty so we had to run the dishwasher upon arrival. There is visible water damage in the ceilings, complete with mold growing on the air vents in the bedrooms. The bathrooms are very dated and were not well cleaned. The "linens" are a step down from a budget motel - the bath towels provided were barely bigger than a bathmat and less absorbent. Each bathroom was supplied with 1 roll of toilet paper. The drain in the bathroom was clogged and the tub would fill with water when you'd use it. I submitted a maintenance request via the app and it was not addressed. The location is great but overall, the Hawes needs to be improved upon.

The location was great with the beach so close. The house was disappointing. Very old and run down. Needs major updating. That being said the kids didnât care and were happy. I would not chose to stay there again.

This is a charming house in a super location almost on the beach. Short walk to beach and johnny mercers pier. The house was clean and roomy. We needed a broom and were brought one quickly from Bryant Real estate. Overall a nice house.

We were satisfied with our stay. The lit. described space for 12, but I could work out only 10 bed spaces; we only needed 6; thus, no problem. We had 3 guests staying elsewhere in to eat 4 meals. Thank goodness for the deck table & chairs we could move inside. Parking (even 4 cars) was not a problem. Very few wine glasses, so we drank wine like water. Good utensils and pots & pans. A little pricy but 1) I donât know the market and 2) whatâs money? The drains could be slow, but it is the beach. The location was excellent and well life-guarded.

This place is disgusting. The outdoor areas have moldy artificial turf with filthy, falling-apart furniture. On the inside, the place has probably not been updated in 30 years. The carpet is nasty, the bathrooms are gross. The furniture was old. The cabinets were falling apart, and the glasses were dirty. We paid almost $1,800 for 3 days. CRAZY. The good news is it was steps from the beach and the washer/dryer were not nasty. Find someplace else. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Our rental experience was excellent as always! As a family (Bruning, Rhodes, Purcell) we have been renting from Bryant for over 20 years and vacationing in Wrightsville for over 40! We have always found our experience with Bryant to be very friendly and professional. Thank you for helping to make our vacation that much more pleasant! Our only comment would be in regards to the owners investing in some "upgrades". The pots and pans were old and very used. We mentioned this to your office and that same day we received new pots and pans! Thank you. Other area the owner could use an upgrade is the carpet on the steps leading to the bedrooms. Just a tad worn down. Other than that - thank you Bryant for a great vacation experience!

Loved being at the house due to location but you'd expect the place to be renovated past the 1970's. Also the realty company employees are very rude and not well at getting back to you.

My rental experience from start to finish was a breeze. Any question I had was answered immediately and professionally. Check in was fast and the property was everything the description said it was. I will be using Bryant Real Estate in the future. I would also consider returning to the same property.
