Spacious sound front home w dock access!
“Hawes Place” is a spacious sound front single-family home that is truly a boater’s paradise. With 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathrooms, two living rooms, game room, and large dock - this home has it all!
As you enter the foyer you are greeted by a large open staircase that adds to the charm of this 1970’s home and it’s wonderful history. Directly across from the stairs is the best hangout room in the house – the pool room. This spacious room is outfitted with a pool table, wet bar, and a fantastic retro poker table. There is a comfortable living space that is furnished with a large Roku TV and the queen sleeper sofa allows this great room to double as a sleeping area for larger families. Pass through the living room to the covered patio with tons of space to relax. Whether you want to grab a private nook to catch some peace and quiet or grill out while watching the sunset, this patio is the perfect oasis. There is an enclosed outdoor shower which is super convenient after a long day on the boat island hoping.
The ground floor of the house also features a garage game room that has air hockey, foosball, and a second refrigerator to help store groceries. Just past the pool room at the end of the hall is a beautifully remodeled bathroom with a walk-in shower that services guests and the nearby Queen guest room. The queen guest room has been outfitted with a Roku TV so that guests can retreat and relax while catching up on their favorite shows. Across the hall from the Queen guest room is another guest suite that has two Queen beds, nicely remodeled bathroom with a shower/tub combo, direct access to the downstairs patio, and a Roku TV.
Once you are at the top of the stairs your vacation really begins! Wall to wall windows and sliding glass doors open to the most magnificent views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Immediately to your left is the primary suite which is furnished with a large King bed, Roku TV, and gorgeous private bathroom that is equipped with a walk-in shower and dual sinks. Across the dining room, down a hall is the fourth bedroom which is outfitted with two Twin beds and a Roku TV. There is a hall bath just outside of the bedroom for guests and has a nicely remodeled walk-in shower.
The main living area on the top floor has a large Roku TV and dining table for those who enjoy a more formal dinner setting. The adjoining kitchen offers beautiful sound front views, a breakfast nook for four, bar seating for four, and a small workstation allows one to work from home if needed. Additional storage and a half bathroom are just around the corner for added convenience.
The entire west facing wall of the top floor opens to allow the sea breeze to flow in and is sure to be your favorite spot in the home. With ample deck furniture this is a fantastic area for entertaining, outdoor dining, sunning, or just relaxing on the huge deck. Savor the magnificent sunsets while you rock all your cares away! Although the grounds are fenced for privacy you still have a wonderful front row seat to overlook all the action on the nearby loop. There is also a public playground just down the street that is convenient for children and younger family members. Occupancy: 14 Stay Requirements: Saturday to Saturday rental in summer.

Hawes Place Graduation Weekend
We loved the large kitchen and dining areas with lots of counter space, as well as the deck, dock, and gaming areas. The kitchen and bathroom renovations were very well done as were the bedrooms.
We had 14 people in our party which maxed out the bedding arrangements and so I was surprised to find that there was only 1 fold-out bed in the gaming areas. Two were advertised. We also had to wash the bedding in the downstairs bedroom with 2 double beds on our night of arrival as the sheets were not clean.
Some of the kitchen & dining area drawers and cabinets also were not clean and cookware, dishes, utensils, bowls, trays, pitchers etc. were not well-organized.
Despite these shortfalls, we enjoyed our stay and had lots of space to spread out.
We enjoyed the house and the location! Beautiful deck, great walking in vicinity. The views of the water were lovely! The rooms were spacious. We had a couple of issues but I hv notified the property Mgr so hopefully, they will be taken care of.
Would rent again. Great location. Disposal was broken and extra ice machine wasn’t working but really small issues. The house was clean w large living area. Deck is tremendous

Reviewer Comments:
Great location, wonderful dock, and views from house are great. House could use some updating but it still is a great place.
This house is a classic old school WB sound front house with loads of room with a perfect layout for entertainment. While it was just our family of five, this house could easily accommodate a larger group or host a family gatherings. The boat slip and dock were an added bonus and made for a fun boating day with kids. We will definitely keep this in mind for future visits.

We were there for our son’s UNCW graduation so the entire family was able to stay under one roof. The locations was very convenient to walk to the beach, restaurants and bars and we enjoyed walking “the loop” for exercise! Very spacious inside with pool table and other “toys” downstairs, but the real bonus for us was the large deck overlooking the inland waterway and the dock for watching the boats go by. Well equipped kitchen and lots of seating all over the house. All in all a fantastic stay!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a very low demanding group of people who were here to enjoy some warm weather. The house has an incredible location and lots of space to enjoy the outdoors. The inside furnishings and décor is frozen in time (e.g. 1985). Would suggest reducing so much of the clutter and also increase lighting as the home is very dark when the sun sets.
Awesome location plenty of room to spread out. Boat dock was a plus. Maybe a little to much furniture and a little dated. Appliances need to be updated some work some don't. Hood vent was falling apart and dropped little metal pieces in our food we had to throw out. Garbage disposal we had to plug in and out to make work. Ice maker was broke. Other than that the location was great. Parking is what it is on crowded days we only got one ticket but that was our fault we had pass that came with house and when we went to put it in car we already had ticket beware they are quick to write one on Wrightsville. All in all if appliances are upgraded we would stay again and maybe longer.

Our vacation was planned in the fall to take my 80 year old step father fishing with the family consisting of 7 adults and four children 2,3,4 and 8 years of age. The house is huge and accommodates a large group. If you plan to take small children, take a long baby fence to cover the rails on the stairs. Extremely dangerous! The rails have space between them a small adult can slip through accidentally. If we had not brought a flexible play yard that we could connect to the rails we would have made the children live downstairs for the whole week. That would have been miserable. This is not a house for small kids. Other than that, it is a nice place. We loved our family time there.

This was the worst experience I have ever had renting a property. The neighbors are extremely nosey, rude, and the property manager from Bryant Real Estate was extremely rude in handling situations. The property owners do not need to offer rentals as sensitive as they are. This house also needs major updates - furniture was ripped and did not look clean. I will not be renting from this company again.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was truly a mixed bag of good and bad. It is an older house, which we knew when we rented it, but it has the feel of the owners completely giving up on it. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated and are very usable. All the bathrooms have walk-in showers, which was important for our senior citizen. The rest of the indoors was less comfortable. It seems like the entire extended family has dumped its old furniture there, and it is jumbled. The upholstered furniture just seemed dirty. The plethora of knick-knacks and abundance of mirrors created sensory overload. The kitchen ware was completely disorganized and thrown into cabinets randomly, and there is way too much of it. The thermostats for upstairs and downstairs were backwards, which was manageable once we figured it out. This should be information included upon check-in and posted at each thermostat. The outdoor space is great, but the deck is in desperate need of power washing (or replacing). As for cleanliness, the bathrooms were spotless, the kitchen pretty clean, but the downstairs bedrooms did not appear to be cleaned at all. The rugs are all so old I'm not sure adequate cleaning is possible. The management company is very responsive and professional, but some problems just require owner attention.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall the experience left a lot to be desired. It is an excellent location and great views and the house was the right size to accommodate our family. However, when we arrived we noticed that there were several maintenance issues that should have been addressed prior to our arrival. There was a vent downstairs that was off of the wall sitting in one of the chairs by the pool table, there appeared to be blood smears on the wall and the fridge in the garage, the wall paper was ripped in one of the guest rooms pretty significantly, the internet and the cable was not working when we arrived. There was a door knob missing from the cabinet under the sink and there was a second stove that didn't work at all. There were signs everywhere that if you touched any of the cords for the tv or wifi there would be a $200 fine which seems pretty ridiculous. There was something that looked like BBQ sauce smeared all over the internet router. I called to report the internet issue and sent photos to the property management company of all of the damages we identified a the time of arrival (12 photos). They sent someone out to look at the wifi and cable issues - that person show up and then left without notifying anyone so I had to call back to determine if the issues were fixed and eventually it was.

The location of this property is perfect!! The house was also set up perfectly for our group. The downstairs with the pool table, air hockey, foosball and poker table along with bedrooms and bathroom was perfect for the five college kids we took. There was plenty of seating for everyone to do things together. The furniture and decor are showing their age but other than that it was a great property to rent!!
This house was made for family get-togethers and celebrations. It’s in walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. and the private dock was my favorite part. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for letting us share your home, memories were made for all 8 of us.

Arrived to a dirty and unkept property (dead bugs on the carpet, left over make up residue, splatters on kitchen cabitnets, holes in pillows, torn wall paper in bedrooms, stains and filth in kitchen drawers, gap in between the sliding door and frame, unkept lawn, cockroach infestation on deck at night) the list goes on. The beds were ready with wrapped linens and fresh towels but that was the most that was done in this property. Such a disappointment for a beautiful location. The outdoor dock lights didn’t work. There was a strong weird odor throughout the lower level. I was so embarrassed for my in-laws who had never visited wrightsville beach and I talked it up so much! Then they arrive to this dump of a property where we spent close to $7,000 for the week. We left after the second night when I woke up to some type of feces droppings next to my pillow where I slept along side my 2 year old daughter (and also please consider I even brought my own fresh linens!!!!!) Bryant real estate didn’t even bother to comeTo the door when we walked to the office.
