We have stayed at Wrightsville for almost 20 years. We love being on the sound side as we bring our own paddleboards to enjoy the sunsets. Kids loved the pool and convenient beach access. The dock needs to be tended to - and it dumps you into the marsh - even at high tide and two step had missing boards- making it cumbersome for the paddleboards. Plenty of space for the family - also wish there were a few more cooking amenities (i.e measuring cups as grandma wants to cook more!). Lots of random bedding in the home which could be removed - or folks may have enjoyed options if they were cold? Seemed like they could have cleaned it up a bit. We reserved again for next year which says a lot! No home is perfect and we can't wait to return. Love the basement ping pong table as well. Great use of the basement space.

We enjoyed our stay at Sweet Shirl. It has lots of good downstairs space to spread out and enjoy time with family. The pool was really fun for the kids and the dock to the sound was perfect for kayaking. A couple cons: 1. The house does not sleep 12. It’s really 10. The roll away bed and futon should not be listed as adequate beds. We were pushed being a large family for sleeping space. 2 No chairs on the upper deck. We had to use our own beach chairs. 3. Dirty kitchen utensils and drawers, no wine glasses. 4. Beach access wasn’t as close as mentioned in the listing. Overall, we had a nice stay.

Fabulous House
This house was roomy enough to accommodate our 10 member family ranging from 7 years to 81 years. We never felt crowded. The deck was wonderful for watching wildlife in the sound and sunsets although it definitely needed more chairs. Luckily we brought our own! The pier and decking was great!!
The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spacious.
The kitchen was a nice layout however the cookware and eating utensils were sorely lacking!! This should become a priority before next season!!
Overall the vacation experience was great and we will return next year with plenty of plastic utensils in tow!!

WE arrived on Saturday and the house was nice and clean. Towels and linens were waiting for us. Had a problem with several faucets, one in the kitchen and one in a bathroom. They were replaced by the rental company on Monday. Main microware was not working for that week. Kitchen needs some updating and mattresses in the two large rooms(King size beds) need to be replaced. Also need some new chairs on the main deck. Oveerall, we enjoyed our stay that week in June.

Great, roomy house in a good WB location. We might suggest updating / adding a BBQ grill -- the one there in the garage is very small and old. Minor paint / plumbing fixture repairs could also be done. Also, every property rental at this level should have free, well-working wi-fi -- we had to connect the upstairs TV cable line into an internet router, which meant the upstairs master had no television. Not a big deal, but these days internet should just be given. Someone was going to come by with a splitter to fix the issue, but never did. We would also suggest rocking chairs on the back porch.

Great location! The house also has more space than anticipated. Great deck in the back to watch the sunset. Loved it!

It was fine except for the leak under the kitchen sink and the multiple calls it took to get it fixed in order the protect the floor underneath. The kitchen appliances need updating. House needs more and newer deck/porch furniture.

This is an amazing house. Was built to be top notch. The marsh views and sunsets are amazing. We rented kayaks and standup paddleboard‘s and a great use of them. The beach access is a five minute walk. And the house came with lots of amenities. Same time the kitchen needs a complete overhaul. Appliances that don’t work. Pots and pans that need to be thrown away. Cabinets that need a deep cleaning. An oven that was so dirty we couldn’t even use it and he last night—a problem when it’s COVID and you aren’t going out at all.

Bottom line: We absolutely LOVED our stay at Sweet Shirl!! Our rental was from Wednesday to Sunday, and after only a few hours at the house we called Wrightsville Sands Realty and asked if we could extend another day. Lucky for us the house was available and we were able to stay until Monday. Perfect location for walking to uncrowded section of beach, beautiful back decks to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Sound, and the house... so open, clean and comfortable. We had 3 couples and 3 single adults and never felt in one another's way. Would definitely stay here again without any hesitation.

We enjoyed a long weekend with family; the view of the marsh was lovely, the walk to the beach was brief. For people who like to have their own space this house was perfect--we had7 people though the home could easily fit several more with room to spare.

Overall, a very good week at this vacation home. Only suggestion would be to replace the furniture on the back deck. Out of the 4 rocking chairs two were broken, one could not be used. Grill would not work and there were nothing to clean the grates with. Place was clean and management was very efficent.

WE have stayed at Sweet Shirl the past 4 years and love the location and easy access to the beach. This year the cottage was recently painted, updating the inside. A couch upstairs was replaced by a futon, which is extremely hard and useless for sleeping or even sitting on for that matter. The oven smoked horribly when we tried to use it so I had to clean it before proceeding. Ditto the grill. The kitchen needs the plates and silverware replenished and some new pots and pans would be nice. We return to Sweet Shirl each year because it is lovely and wonderfully situated on the North End. The few minor inconveniences do not negate all the positive pluses of this rental.

We rented this home last summer. We loved the house and the views off the back deck and especially the dock were amazing. The kitchen is well stocked as we love to cook! We rented kayaks for several days and launched from our dock. We will return to rent this home again.

Our trip was very nice. The house had two very large bedrooms and bathrooms. All other bedrooms and bathrooms were normal size. The downstairs interior had recently been painted grey instead of the green that shows in the pictures. Also, there were no sleeper sofas but we had 2 blow up mattresses. I felt the kitchen was adequately stocked, though we did no cooking. There is very large storage under the house along with the 3 car garage. View out the back is beautiful. House was great but disappointed in the fact that early check in was $50 per hour. We stayed in the middle of winter and no one was in the house prior but we waited till check in. Rental agency did call and say the house was ready early and I mentioned we did not want to pay the extra. We were still not offered the courtesy of checking in without charge.

Wonderful large rooms with lots of light and open space, perfect for a large crowd. bedrooms were great with comfortable beds. But we were VERY disappointed with the kitchen. There were no basics - starter dish washing liquid, powder, coffee filters, absolutely nothing other than a roll of paper towels. Can opener hardly worked. Barely any cooking utensils that a cook would use. It is obvious that no cook owns or stays here. Everyone kept tripping on the cheap throw rugs. And the chairs to the second table were being recovered so half of our dinner guests had nowhere but the couch to sit! (The picture on line shows the chairs in use and was part of why we rented the place.) Back stairs had green mold all over them and the deck/walkway were in need of maintenance. The place needs updating so that it is the prime place that it's location and presence reflect that it can be.

Our second stay at Sweet Shirl was wonderful. We love the marsh view and dock access for easy kayaking and crabbing. Beach access is just a short walk from the cottage. The north end of Wrightsville is quiet and lovely. Shell Island is just a couple blocks away. The setting is perfect and the house roomy and comfortable. This is our go to house for family vacations.

Sound side house lacking
Although the location of this house was nice, with lovely marsh views, we found it lacking on a number of fronts. First, the appliances are all old and the oven wasn't working. Next, the outdoor shower, a true luxury at the beach, was crowded with an old hose bracket and wasn't a place you wanted to linger. Walking out the long pier was nice but for the fact that rusty nails were beginning to pop up. Further, the dining room table had a very chipped surface, which matched most of the pots and pans by the way. I could go on but in conclusion this property is tired, especially given the price!
