Long Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: We had a great time visiting our son in Wrightsville Beach. The beach is certainly beautiful and there are many fun adventures to do and many great restaurants.The view from our condo was amazing and overall the condo was in good shape. I feel the cleaning crew could have done a better job. The property manager was very helpful and responsive! The pool are was gorgeous and was a quick walk to the beach. It was neat to see the beach and hear the waves from our balcony and we could also see the inter-coastal when we walked out our entrance door.We will certainly come back!

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: The location and amenities are wonderful. The place could have used a better cleaning and bathrooms need updating. Keep in mind they provide sheets but you have to make the beds yourself. In doing that I saw years of dust bunnies under and behind beds.

Joy through the storm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: Our Condo rental at DunesRidge was a perfect spot for our 3-generation family visit. Beautiful spot right on the beach, despite enduring a Tropical Storm. We loved being on a more quiet end of the beach but within minutes of all we needed. Perfect space for the 6 of us, good layout and great value. The rental process through Wrightsville Sands was easy, timely and they were very pleasant to work with. Would definitely stay again.

New adventures in Wrightsville Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: We usually vaca in Florida, but wanted to try something new. When we first drove into Wrightsville Beach, we were concerned that it was busier and much more crowded than we expected, but just a short drive out of town, we found uncrowded beaches. We enjoyed walking to the coffee shops in the early morning, swimming at the resort area pool, looking for shells on the beach, and sitting on the condo balcony in the evenings with a glass of wine. The location of the condo was not too far from downtown Wilmington, where we enjoyed the riverfront area and an excellent ghost tour. (But, beware of the parking fines. They do not play! We saw parking monitors (a private business, much like the speed cameras) ticketing cars throughout the downtown area.)

Awesome place

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: We enjoyed our stay here immensely. The views were wonderful to wake up to every morning. Property was just as advertised in the pictures. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook. The water does have a sulphur smell, but that is part of being on beach water and is expected. We would definitely stay here again.

Don’t Book

1. The condo is in need of updates. The bathrooms have lighting that constantly makes noise. The drains in the tub don’t drain at all or hold water. That is for both bathrooms. The commodes need replacing . I read a review from 2018 that someone had written about the bathrooms. The response from the realtor was the owners would be doing that in the off season. If I had read that I would of checked to see if it had been done. Of course it is now 2021 and it hasn’t been done . 2. WiFi- is not secure - should of been told that. 3. No Rubbermaid or any containers with lids for leftovers. 4. The tv in the living room quit working on our last night . 5. The dryer squeaked the whole time. You couldn’t stay in the condo while drying clothes. The realty manager did get back with me on the dryer and came out twice but it never got fixed. I will never use this realty company again or rent at this condo facility. J

Beautiful Rental with some BUTs

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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: Beautiful rental with a few exceptions. The rental agency, Wrightsville Sands Realty should have done a better job. First they were very difficult to contact. I had to call and text multiple times to get a response concerning our rental and payments. After arriving Sands Realty never contacted us to see how our vacation was going. Maybe a simple call to see if everything was ok would have been appropriate. We called because the screen door had a small rip and they said that someone would come by. When no one did we repaired it ourselves using some scotch tape. Lastly, the next to last day we told them that the water smelled awful. They said it was because of Sulfur and it was because the well water table was too low. That was ok but all they had to do was tell us before that we might experience a problem. All in all Wrightsville Sands Realty could do a better job. They should be more professional, be easier to contact, and maybe give renters better information about the rental and things in the area.

Girlfriend time

Condo was perfect for our group of 4 girlfriends. We wanted a quick escape for a long weekend. Beach views are fantastic and we throughly enjoyed the balcony. Our only suggestion is to please buy some wine glasses ( there was only 1)

Heaven at the beach

We loved it and would like to come back for a full week this summer! The pool, beach and area are top notch. We really loved the layout of the condo! I would recommend having a bottle of cleaner in the unit so guests can clean counters and range after use. The shower rod in second bath kept falling down while the kids were showering.

Labor Day Weekend Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family Trip. Condo had no linens. We had to bring our own. When we arrived one of the comforters had vomit on it and we had to wash and dry before using. The temps were mild that weekend but the A/C still couldn't cool below 74 degrees until around 2 AM. Unit appears to need a remodel.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of this property and the ocean views were spectacular. However it is very dated with tons of deferred maintenance. Neither of the bathtubs drained properly and within a minute you were standing in dirty, sandy water. We had an infant with us and she was unable to take a bath! The shower door in the hall bath was off track and was swinging freely, which was very dangerous. In the master bath the shower curtain was very dirty and yellowed. The water smelled like sulfur!! I called the rental office and was told to let the water run to flush the lines - didn't work. Then I called Wrightsville Beach town hall and they said all the water on the beach smelled like that. That's simply not true!!. The hot water smelled particularly bad. We had to go buy bottled water for drinking and cooking. The rug in the family room was filthy and with a baby crawling around it was terrible. The table cloth on the dining table was very dirty and stained. Even the blankets for the beds smelled. We will not be returning to this rental and I don't recommend it to anyone else until some of the issues have been addressed

Pretty View, But Needs Updates

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The ocean view from the covered porch at this condo is lovely and there was plenty of furniture on the porch to accommodate everyone. The furniture in the living room was comfortable, and it was nice to have a pool available on property. However, the walk to the beach from this unit is very long. The bathrooms appear to be original from about 1988 and are in desperate need of updating. The master shower doesn't drain and the shower curtain liner needs to be replaced. The worst thing was that the water from all the faucets smells like sulfur. It was pretty awful. By the end of the trip we didn't even want to shower anymore.

Reviewer Comments: we have stayed in three bedroom condos many times and find it works perfectly for us.

Most importantly the beds were comfortable, the living space was great for 6 people and the views you look at all day can’t be beat! The only improvement I would suggest is making sure all lights were working properly and the a/c ducts and filters are always clean.
