Station One - 5I Farrior

Station One is the best location and a well kept property. Perfect vacation spot! Some issues with keys easily unlocking doors.

The condo was a very nice accomodation for my mom and myself. There were 2 bed and 2 baths so that worked well for us. Well stocked kitchen. Big coffee pot. Beautiful view. Easy access to downstairs area to move in and out. A few things: queen size bed is in dire need of being replaced. The center of it is like falling into a big hole. All the bed pillows need to be replaced. Flat and not clean looking. The floors were very slippery. Maybe the cleaner is too slick for tile ?? Door number has rusted and it was hard to find the door. We had to put canola oil on the door key so that it would be slick enough to open and close the door. Perhaps rusted?? All and all a very nice place to stay.

We loved Station I and plan to return in 2020. The pool was perfect as my two year granddaughter decided the beach really wasn't for her! Farrior is a very nice place. Thinking three bedrooms may suit us better next time.


The only suggestion would be to get coded doors. The keys didn't always want to work due to the salt. Of course, I understand that security is probably better with the key as it would be very easy to give the code out to someone. However, security was awesome and everyone was extremely nice! Loved it!!

My family had a wonderful stay at Station One. We're already looking forward to visiting again next year. The property was clean, the building was quiet, the views were awesome, and the staff was super helpful. We loved the beach gear storage area by the pool, the restaurants / cafes just across the street, and the family-friendly atmosphere everywhere we went.

Our only complaint was the faulty key locks across the property. We had to spend several minutes trying to unlock multiple doors throughout the building - a problem other guests seemed to be having as well. Upgrading to keyless entry, or even key cards, across the property would be a small but game-changing fix!

Enjoyed oceanfront condo and pool area. Great location close to everything.

Needed new pillows and the beds were hard to sleep in. Pool closed and was disappointed not to be able to use. Construction noises were loud in the next unit and was not told this would be happening next door.

We had to evacuate early because of Hurricane. We only were there 3 days. The condo was nice unit except for furnishings in living room. They needed to be up dated. Otherwise everything else was great and location was perfect to walk to everything.

All was fine....nice condo. Clean and well equiped. Hot water was a problem on first day but fixed quickly. TVs didn't work but also fixed quickly. Very nice stay.

Karen B - Posted: 9/4/2018

This unit was nicely renovated with a beautiful kitchen. On one side, a view of the ocean; on the other a view of the waterway. Station One is within walking distance of restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again. Excellent customer service from the rental company.

We've been staying at Station One for 25 years and this was the best unit yet. Recently renovated, it's very clean and comfortable, with all necessary amenities, and a very well equipped kitchen. We asked if we could check in a little early and were accommodated. We got immediate help when we had trouble logging on to the Wi-Fi system. TV was a little complicated, but we eventually figured it out. Lovely setting, wonderful views. We'll be back!

Location was great. Walked to most meals and fun. Property was clean and well maintained. Condo was clean and had most anything that we needed. Master bed was a little worn and hard. Pillows were old and flat but we used the ones on the other beds which helped. Furniture is a little worn but comfortable.

Pamela B - Posted: 7/4/2017

Thank you for providing feedback on your recent visit. We apologize that you experienced some issues with the pillows. We always strive to address any guest's needs during their stay. We will discuss new pillows with the owner. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay overall. Guest Services Manager SNS 7/5

Much confusion about where to pick up property keys at check in due to conflicting information.

Our stay was wonderful. The unit was very clean inside & upgraded. We were comfortable & close to everything.

Lauren Z - Posted: 4/15/2017

The property was clean & very well maintained! We had adequate towels for our use! Our dishes, glasses & cooking utensils were perfect! Being a former owner of a unit at Station One in the 80's , we were happy to rent a very comfortable & pleasant unit!

Peter P - Posted: 8/22/2016

This was our 8th year at Station One and Wrightsville Beach...we have already booked next year! I think that says it all!

Harold C - Posted: 8/8/2016

It was GREAT!! The unit was very clean
and comfortable. Thank you!!

Caroline G - Posted: 8/19/2015

As usual our vacation to Wrightsville Beach and staying at Station One was great - it has been for the last 8 years!!!

Harold C - Posted: 8/11/2015

Awesome!

Brittany B - Posted: 7/21/2015

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed both the beach and town.

Bob K - Posted: 5/31/2015

Condo was very nice. Management co. said they'd be onsite for checkin but the info was wrong. More important - ridiculous to find no sheets or towels unless I paid extra once there (at this price, absolutely should be provided). AND there was no shampoo, only a small bar of soap and very cheap TP. Also frustrated to find laundry was coin operated down the hall. Bottom line: condo is great, management company seems to cut corners.

Beth D - Posted: 4/27/2015

So sorry this guest had issues! Unfortunately all of these issues are listed on and/or in tenant contract. Linens are provided for weekly rentals and if guests would like linens we can provide them and have them in the unit before guest checks in. We hope to see this guest again and hope we can show them a better experience! KMF

Our experience was very good and we enjoyed the accommodations. The condo was very nice and quiet. It was very comfortable and clean with good amenities. When it rained the walkways were wet and often times puddles formed. The walkways became slippery. Most frequently on the fifth floor puddles formed in front of both elevators and you had to jump over them to get in the elevators. We told the management with limited success to sweep the puddles away and they did put some salt on the ice when the puddles froze during a 4 day cold front. Most doors were not the easiest to open in the public spaces and often times the garbage disposal doors were impossible to open. Generally I would say we very much enjoyed our stay, however If I were an owner I would insist on improved building maintenance over the winter months.

Caroline G - Posted: 3/4/2015

Glad to hear they had a great stay and enjoyed this unit! The issues above such as the puddles, slippery walkways, and tough doors can only be handled by the building management not Intracoastal. We have relayed this information to them to resolve these issues. KMF

We always have a wonderful time spending our family vacation at Wrightsville Beach, NC and this year was no exception. Station One is a great place to stay, my husband and his family have frequented it since the early 90's. The Farrior was a beautiful condo and we would certainly stay there again.

When we arrived, right at 4:00, there was a little bit of a wait. This is understandable, but still frustrating when considering that you are having to pay for a full day's stay on the day of arrival. I do wish that it would have been a little cleaner than it was. Both restrooms had hair clogging up the drains and left over toiletries from the previous guest lying in the shower, which made you wonder if the bathroom had been cleaned.

Another point that my family has spoken of for years is the mannerisms and behavior of the on-site security guards. I appreciate the difficulty and importance of their job, but the job requirement does not dictate for them to be rude and unfriendly. Would it be too much to ask for a security guard, who is standing right at the door, to open it for a mother who is holding an infant, with bags of groceries and trying to open the door with her key? It just seems like common decency would urge you to you help someone open a door when they know they are staying at Station One and obviously are struggling with the door. My husband said it has been like this for decades.

Ending on a positive note, we absolutely love Wrightsville Beach and Station One and plan to come back every year, whether we stay at Station One or another Intracoastal property. We would also like to praise the town for fixing the beach so beautifully in front of Station One.

As usual our vacation at Station One for the two weeks this year were just great!

Harold C - Posted: 8/13/2014

We had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed it. The only issue we had was the bannister on the balcony is spaced very widely apart. Both my 2 and 4 year olds could fit through them. That was a concern with having small children.
We loved everything else however.

We have been staying at Station One for 7 years and in 5I Farrior for the past 5 years. We love 5I and enjoy staying there every year and will continue to stay in that condo. This year we were a little disappointed in who we had to deal with to get our keys and not being able to get access or check in till 4pm. Everyone was checking in at the same time and there were not carts available, the line to park near the door was long and it was just mass confusion. In the past we were able to get a key to access the property and get to the beach. We were told we could not get one this year till 4pm. When I arrived about 11:30am I was greeted by a surprised look and was told I was extremely early as check in was not till 4pm. I understand things have changed and are in the process of changing, but you can't have everyone check in at the same time. The property is not equipped to handle it. Plus, if you change the person who hands out the keys then they should be knowledgeable and customer focused, she was neither. Also for whatever reason the mens room by the pool was locked and the womens room was not. Plus, the key fob by the pool did not work the entire week we were there. And on Friday when we were all just coming up from the beach and hanging out by the pool there was a cleaning crew cleaning a balcony. The man who was doing the cleaning on the balcony was rude to us and other guests as he stated we could not come in nor go under where he was cleaning. He was cleaning with chemicals and didn't warn anyone. Security showed up and he wanted the security guard to close the pool down. She would not, which was appreciated, but he was extremely rude. He should have communicated/warned everyone by the pool as to what he was doing, how long it would take and why. It could have avoided the incident.

Marie G - Posted: 7/23/2014

8/1 I'm sorry this guest didn't understand our check in procedures. Our staff is very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. Check in does begin at 4:00pm, my staff is correct. When a unit is available earlier than 4:00pm we call right away to notify guests that units are ready early. We do check-ins all through out the day, but cannot give out keys before a unit is ready for liability purposes. This has always been policy and has not changed recently. This guest was given parking passes and beach and pool keys so they could access these amenities while waiting for the unit to be ready. As for the other concerns with locked doors and the pool, those are issues we will discuss with the HOA. We unfortunately do not control those areas, but we will be sure to have these issues addressed by them. We look forward to having these guests again next year, hopefully they won't be surprised by our check in procedures again. CMM

It was easy and efficient

One can't beat the location and convenience of Station One at Wrightsville Beach NC. Some recent tidying-up keeps this property an annual destination for us.

Emily J - Posted: 6/9/2014

5-I was a wonderful unit for view, updates, cleanliness. However, the furniture was not ideal for three months stay...except for twin mattress/box springs, the others were too worn and soft; the "straw" chairs were too unstable, the floor lamp shade was melted to point of being unsightly, the table shade/lamp ill fitting for each other; the pictures on the wall were way too numerous and no theme except "have it so hang it!" The kitchen was very well equipt. Tile floors, a great idea. We would want in-unit laundry next stay.
Station One itself...something needs to be done to keep water from pooling in front of elevator doors. Unit front doors need painting..or at least a good cleaning. Ridiculous for ice to have remained on parking lot two days..why was it not treated? Flags out front looked shabby...a real negative. Building kept locked up well...very good safety feature. Someone fell short when it came to notifying us about floral delivery...poinsettia got to us a week after Christmas..friend who sent it died before she heard from us thanking her. No excuse! We should have been called the time it arrived. Mail service at WB was not good...blame WB or USPS in general?!

3/4 I'm glad they enjoyed the unit and their stay. Sorry to hear about the problems with Station One in general and WB. Will let CAMS and the HOA know. CMM

The condo was even nicer than the photos. Very spacious, the views were amazing, and the building was in a great location - you can't get any closer to the beach! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back!
