Good for the price

Overall the stay was good. The owner was good to work with and the place was nice. I did end up having to kill one roach, but that was the only negative event.

Family visit

Place is dated although reasonably clean. Need to bring own linens which would be a problem for a vacation & not a family visit that could provide linens.Bathroom light over sink would not turn on.Temperature control was frustrating-main thermostat did not control heat (not warm enough to test AC). Window unit was good first night but after the place got warmed up it was way too hot no matter what temperature it was set at.

Great little place, perfect location!

My husband and I just had a long weekend at Wrightsville and loved our stay at this rental in the Waterway Lodge. The location is great, restaurants within walking distance, the beach a short bike ride or drive. The space is just perfect for a short term visit. There is plenty of storage so your stuff doesn't take over the room. It was clean and just what we needed! We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great place to stay off the beach!

If you’re looking a more economical alternative to the higher priced beachfront hotels, this place is perfect. Located a few minutes from the beach, near a bunch of great restaurants including walking distance to Ceviches (great food). Has all the amenities of a hotel, clean, and host was very responsive. Pet friendly and pet deposit was very reasonable compared to other places. Overall had a great experience with no complaints.

Great Location!

Very small condo, perfect for two people but definitely not any more than that. Absolutely great location! Several restaurants within walking distance and just a short drive over the bridge to get to the beach. Beautiful view of the Intercostal Waterway just out the front door! Would love to come back!

Couldn’t have ask for a better location!!

Went down to move our son in at UNCW, just 5 miles away from university. My husband got to see the drawbridge raised while walking the dogs and loved it. Very close to the beach. Exactly what we need for my husband, myself and two fur babies.

I don’t mind not updated but I want it clean with the basics. What are VRBO standards?

I was in town as an artist for an event. Positives: Hot water, refrigerator Negatives: Not clean. The faded bedspread had some blood stains, dirt//dust balls in all the corners. The owner had warned me that the ceiling fan did not work, so I brought my own table fan. Based on some photos of the property of The Waterway, I thought I was getting a small kitchenette…Not so. A small microwave with only one working setting. There was a collection of various mismatched eating utensils, melamine plates and bowls ( THE BOWLS LOOKED LIKED THEY WERE BURNED IN THE MICROWAVE). There were 2 old coffee cups, one I wouldn’t use because it felt like there was plastic melted inside of it. After the first day, I found some ceramic plates and 2 cereal/soup bowls that were crusty in a dresser drawer in the bathroom sink area. All the utensils and “dish ware” had a layer of something on them. There wasn’t any dish soap or a clean sponge to wash kitchenware. I used my hand towel to wash any kitchenware before and after use. Fortunately, I brought my own dish soap. Not sure the last time a mop was taken to the floor either because any water drops showed a bit of dirt. I did not remove my sandals ever in this room. everything in this place was pretty worn out. Like I said, Old is fine, but you need to offer basics and CLEANLINESS!
