The best

Best equipped rental I have ever stayed in and I have been in summer rentals for over 70 years. What a pleasure to not have to bring half your house to the beach. Property was also very clean and well maintained.

Paradise for all — including the dogs

Love, love, love this place. It surpassed any expectations. So beautifully decorated and very welcoming, the owners have paid attention to every detail and then some. It has everything one could need. Most surprisingly was the special attention to dogs — food and water bowl, bowl of pet toys and dog beds. Really all one needs for this stay are clothes and a toothbrush. Can't wait to return and hopefully for a longer stay.

Delightful Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was packed with something for everyone! It has lots of beach gear (towels, chairs), a grill, a closed porch that our dog enjoyed, mixed drink recipes, movies, and easy walking distance to the beach (1 block) and restaurants and ice cream within a few blocks! The house has tons of beach character, and very comfortable sheets and beds! We had a wonderful week with the family, and look forward to returning here!

Relaxing vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: We are a family of 4 plus our Labrador Retriever, Ryder. We don’t always plan our vacations with Ryder, but sometimes I find a great place where he can come along. Sand Crab Cottage was perfect for all of us. Everything you need is in this adorable perfectly decorated cottage. The porch and fenced-in yard are definitely a plus. The house is very quiet inside. You barely notice you are on the busy Loop. Beds are made and ready upon arrival. Thick white towels and washcloths in abundance. There is a basket full of blankets to use for your dog if they like to be on the furniture (we don’t allow that in our house and did not allow it here) as well as a bunch of cute dog toys. Dogs are not allowed upstairs. It was as if Ryder could read and never bothered to go up there. Beach towels and beach chairs all ready as well. There were a few extra pantry items and some staples in the refrigerator when we arrived. There was dish detergent and hand soaps. Lots of spices and cookbooks. There is a decent coffee maker as well as a French press coffee maker and a huge crab pot in the pantry. Tons of movies, books and games. It was really hot the week we stayed in July, so we kept all the shades closed to help the home stay cool. The AC works well even under the stress of the heat. Bryant Real Estate utilizes an app called Hospitality that was a breeze to use for looking up rental information and sending quick questions, which were answered promptly. We walked to many of the local restaurants. Be sure to flip through the book to see the before pictures of the cottage as well as some of the history. We have stayed at Sand Crab Cottage twice and look forward to future stays.

Wrightsville Beach family wedding

We got harassed by the neighborhood and Bryant real estate for a family barbecue of 15 people early Friday evening. Very Disturbing and unenjoyable and placed a cloud over our stay. I would not recommend this house due to the unreasonable overreaction by the owner and Bryant real estate. It’s a very noisy street and we got called on being noisy before 8 PM. I would not recommend this listing in the future.

Perfect spot

We loved everything about our stay at the Sand Crab Cottage. It's in the perfect spot (just a block off the beach), has everything you would need, and is so charming. The beds are SO comfortable - they all have feather beds on top! When I got home I bought 2 featherbeds for our beds so that I could continue sleeping in that kind of comfort. :) We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Sand Crab Cottage is delightful!

The cottage is whimsically decorated and full of charm . The home has plenty of furniture for lounging and dinning. Our group enjoyed using the great appliances and relaxing on the front porch. Fabulous location : steps to the beach, blocks from restaurants and a few shops. I would especially reccomend Sand Crab Cottage for family gatherings.

Family Happiness

There is nothing negative with the stay in The Sand Crab Cottage. Short walk to beach. Our youngest daughter was born blind he enjoyed the beach and collected seashells with older brother and sister. We ate dinner together. Thank You For The Great Experience with the Sand Crab Cottage. We really enjoyed it.

Fun 4th

I messaged earlier in the week and asked if there were any beach chairs and was told no. So i brought five of my own only to find 6 for our use in the garage. Also it states in the description that you need to bring your own beach towels which we did only To find a ton at the house for our use. :(

Beautiful Cottage!!

We loved this home!! We stayed at the cottage for 2 weeks and didn’t want to leave. A beautiful welcome basket was waiting for us when we arrived. Everything you could ever need was provided. The cottage was one block away from Wrightsville beach which we enjoyed. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The house was very clean and comfortable. The upstairs pirate room was adorable. We have stayed at a number of homes in the area and this one is our new favorite. We will definitely book this beautiful home again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location, cute cottage

We had a great time at the Sand Crab Cottage. The kids loved sleeping in the room decorated with a nautical theme and discovering toys in the treasure chest. We enjoyed people watching from the front porch. The cottage was very clean and nice bath and beach towels were provided. The beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The couch was also comfortable and the kids enjoyed the selection of movies to choose from when taking a break from the sand and sun. The garage was fully stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, bikes, beach cart and other useful items. Location was great. One block walk to beach and about a 10-minute walk to the ice cream shop.

Can we give it 20 stars?!

Wonderful, comfortable, welcoming home! We were desperately in need of a vacation and have an older dog with health issues. It was such a relief to bring him with us. The house has everything you need and the hosts have made it so warm and welcoming- dogs included. The location is central to everything in Wrightsville Beach. We walked to restaurants, ice cream and Roberts Grocery (get the chicken salad) and used their bikes to bike to the northern end of the island to watch the sunset over the marsh - so beautiful!! Easy access to the beach and sound. We walked "The Loop" each morning with the younger dog we brought and spent our days on the beach. Wilmington is 15 minutes away and we shopped and ate at The Pilot House restaurant on the river one evening. I can't say enough positive things about the house, location and the hosts. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
