3BR cottage with a short stroll to beach or sound!

Located at the desirable south end of Wrightsville Beach on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, single family cottage is the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. “Fritz” is just a short walk to the nearest beach access and is practically next door to the Crystal Pier and famous Oceanic Restaurant. Enjoy a sunset dinner on the pier or drop by SunDays Coffee Shop for an early morning cup of joe before combing the beach for amazing shells.

As you arrive at the house you will immediately notice the spacious front deck that is perfect for sunning, entertaining or just relaxing in the soft ocean breeze! The open floor plan warmly welcomes you into this charming home. Two large sliding glass doors open to the front deck and fill the space with natural light. Cuddle up with your loved ones on the sofa for a movie night or unwind in a cozy armchair with your favorite book. The house has Roku TV’s so that you can stream all your favorite shows conveniently, just like you do at home! The dining table overlooks the living room and offers seating for six people. A pass-through window on the bar provides additional seating and keeps the chef in the family visible as they craft their favorite meals. The galley style kitchen has everything you need to cook for any occasion or crowd.

Down the hall you will find the spacious primary bedroom. Furnished with a king size bed this suite offers a walk-in closet, private bathroom, and Roku TV. Across the hall from the primary bedroom is a guest bedroom with a king bed that will make comfortable accommodation for your family members. There is also a third guest bedroom on this level that offers a double bed. A hall bathroom serves the two guest rooms and visitors. There is also a washer and dryer in the hall for added convenience.

The downstairs level of the home has a spacious sitting area and bedroom with a queen size bed. The sitting area offers a twin-size day bed that can also double as a sofa. There is a twin trundle under the day bed making this room exceptionally versatile– perfect for teenagers or it can double as a secondary primary suite for travelers that prefer a little bit of space at the end of the day! A sliding glass door leads to a small private patio in the fenced back yard. There is also a full bathroom on this level which truly makes it a private oasis. “Fritz” is the perfect option for families and offers plenty of space for the whole family to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. A perfect mixture of sunshine and privacy – this is the relaxing beach vacation that you have been dreaming of!

Perfect beach getaway

Excellent beach house. Great short walk to beach access yet still quiet at the house at night. Loved the front deck/porch. Room for all 9 to sit & enjoy the sun or nighttime breeze. Very spacious bedrooms for all. 3 bathrooms were perfect as well. Very well stocked with all accessories. Weather couldn’t have been any better!!

Nice Property

We found the house to be perfect for our needs. The downstairs provides a space for children to play or watch tv separate from the upstairs main area. There is one bedroom that does not have a tv, which would be nice.

Nice house in great location

My adult kids and I were there for the Ironman 70.3. This is a spacious, well-appointed, clean house in the perfect location. It's right next to the swim start and the bike drop off was within walking distance. We enjoyed strolling on the beach and had a wonderful dinner at the nearby Oceanic. A number of other shops and restaurants were within walking distance. We'll be back and suggest you try it out as well.

Perfect long weekend

This was a family trip to celebrate our youngest daughter's graduation from college. The downstairs bedroom arrangement in particular was very helpful for part of our family who have a newborn. They were able to spread out and have privacy and not worry about waking any of the rest of us up. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was adequately stocked. We should have told the rental authorities that the dishwasher was not working well, but if renters don't report that there's no way they would know. The deck was delightful and we spent a lot of our time there. We were able to walk to and from the Oceanic and the beach. Thoughtful touches like a beach cart were a pleasant surprise. We will definitely stay here again!

if concerned about roaches, stay away

The house is in a decent location, beds are adequate and there was enough space for our family, BUT we found an enormous dead roach upon entering the place, literally inside the entrance. Then we noticed the bathrooms hadn't really been cleaned because there were hairs in the bathtubs and under the toilet seat. When we called the rental company, they apologized and sent a cleaning team out the next morning and said they'd spray for bugs. The cleaners came and the bathrooms looked much better. The second night, we found another enormous roach, dead by a chair downstairs. The kids were scared to sleep down there because they thought bugs would walk on them at night. I called again but was told it's just "part of being down there and at least they were dead". Seriously. If you spray for bugs and find them inside after several months of service, please understand that you need an exterminator, not just pest management. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Wonderful family vacation

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Fritz to have a family vacation at Wrightsville Beach, NC. The location was very convenient as it was just one block from the beach and close to pier. The bedroom set up was ideal with a lower level for the kids with their own bathroom. The upper level for the adults. The house was well maintained and very accommodating. If we have the opportunity we would rent the cottage again.

There were 7 adults and one child. The house isn't large, however it fit our needs and didn't feel too crowded. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was clean. We had one maintenance issue with a drain in the lower level bathroom. They came out right away and fixed it.

Basic Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a good location, a short walk to the beach. The kitchen is well-stocked. The bedrooms are a good size. The bathrooms are very small. We visited for a weekend, I would not want to spend a week in this house in the summer, mainly because of the size of the bathrooms and small living space. You could barely turn around in the hall bathroom. The management company was very communicative. It was a little annoying to have to sign in or download an app for everything. The house was clean, however, I was surprised that when we arrived we had to make our own beds. I have never rented a place where I had to make my own bed.

Unfortunately when we arrived for our family vacation the AC was out in the house (things break )and we spent 5 days in a different house which we really didn’t like at all but made the best of it . My suggestion to Bryant Realty would be to have window units on hand to install in a situation like this especially considering how much they fail at the beach , as a landlord for a living this IS what I do for my own properties.
