Archer

"It was a great location and was nice and clean. Could use updating but was right on the beach and convenient to pier. We enjoyed our stay."

"Property is outdated but everything we needed was there. I was disappointed with the inability to open the blinds all the way in the upstairs master where the beautiful view is. Also, the tarp on the upstairs deck is very cumbersome and frankly somewhat of a liability, since it's easy to trip over it when going out on the upstairs deck."

"Archer has NOT been maintained and everything in it is either broken or on the verge of breaking. From the decor, it looks like it was last furnished in the 1970s. We had- splintered doors, filthy furniture and carpets, broken A/C, broken washing machine, broken kitchen faucet, moldy shower curtains, broken showerhead, broken bedroom blinds, non functioning electrical outlets, dishwasher with misaligned door that prevents its proper use, broken chair, ocean view blocked by tree. This unit was a huge disappointment and greatly spoiled our 2 weeks there. Intracoastal Realty should be ashamed to rent this place. We have used Intracoastal for about 10 years and expect them to only offer high level places. We are very disappointed.

Thank you for leaving me your feedback. I am sorry you experience issues during your stay. I personally spoke to you on the phone and every issue was address except the view blocked by the tree which is a Town of Wrightsville Beach protected area and cannot be trimmed or removed as it is on the ocean dunes. We did refund you a portion of your rental for the inconvenience of us having to address these issues while you were in the unit. I hope that you come back in the future and try us again.

"The management company was great! I received a telephone call shortly after booking and another one the day before check-in. The sheets, towels and mattresses were slightly above average. We had a wonderful weekend, the location can't be beat. My only criticism is that the cookware is very very beat up. We had to go out and purchase our own frying pan. The carpet is in pretty bad shape as well. I normally would not comment except that we spent over $830.00 for one weekend so I would expect these small things to be better maintained."

"Great location, furniture and decor was very well used and comfortable. Kitchen was well equiped.

Porch light fixture was broken and needs replacement.

Various loud rattling around the first floor included a ceiling fan, chimney, and HVAC unit outside the bedroom of the guestroom.

Overall, I would say this place is average in condition and excellent in location.

I would recommend this place for a sunny day."

"The location was just perfect. Walking distance to the wedding venue and many restaurants, shops and bars. Could use a little updating but was very clean. The only issue we had was the electrical outlets in the master bath weren't working. No big deal as there were several others in the master bedroom.I would definitely stay in Archer again."

"Our vacations were almost perfect. The rental Archer is a nice and very clean house in frontbeach, absolutely awesome.

"We enjoyed our stay with sunny weather just before Hurricane Dorian required mandatory evacuation. The place was neat and clean and was perfect for our short respite. Decor was a little dated but met our needs. I would recommend Arher for your family. "

"Dried urine stains on the toilet and a leaking ceiling about sum it up. Ceiling leaked when rained, carpet was gross, bathrooms faucet wasn’t cleaned and there was dried urine on the toilet. Property Is in need of a facelift and updating throughout ."

"Your company is very blessed to have an employee such as Chelsey. She was there for us from the beginning she is a pleasant, professional and caring person. We had great time , everything was clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation."

"It was nice. We were happy. The decor is dated, but the view is fabulous and it was fine for the price."

"Great week with family at an excellent location for beach use Plumbing needs attention. Faucets were hard to use. Carpet was dingy and need attention. Stove is outdated. Pillows were poor condition. "

"Excellent experience overall. Loud large crowd with permit in front of property Saturday pm and evening. Luckily their generator broke!"

"We hosted our three teenage granddaughters and found the house & location were ideal! They could come and go to the beach on their own and we could join them or watch them from the two balconies. I would rent this house again in a minute!"

"We had a good time as we were with best of friends. The condo however is very outdated. The doors stuck and were peeling, plumbing in showers need changing. We weren't able to get hot water from the master bed/bath until Saturday night. The deck was boarded off with plywood and was an eyesore plus we couldn't come and go from the beach. You couldn't view the ocean due to over growing tree that totally blocked it. We paid for what the description provided, we didn't get that. We should and are requesting some type of compensation. I am sure if this place was given TLC and the outside plant and trees taken care of, it would be enjoyable and worth the money, but the condition and state we got it in, it definately was not."

"We had a fabulous week at Archer. Although the interior is a bit older, it was clean and super functional. The king bed in the master was amazingly comfortable. The view from the top deck is spectacular and the overall location can't be beat. "

"I'll start with the good- the location was awesome. Close to the pier, walking distance to shops and restaurants, and of course steps to the beach. This house, however is in major need of attention. The mattresses are terribly uncomfortable, and the bedding is probably as old as the house. The twin beds are terribly rusted. The furniture is also old and covered in pet hair. The kitchen is poorly outfitted, and there isn't a knife sharp enough to adequately slice an apple. The porches have rusted nails with the heads popping off, making it hazardous for our small children. The dryer drum keeps spinning even if the door is open, which seems to be a major safety hazard. There are old TVs literally being used as stands for new(er) tvs, also terribly unsafe. The doors and floors are peeling from apparent water damage. Intracoastal, you have a great reputation, and allowing homes to remain in your program in this state really hurts that. I don't know whether to be horrified, or to make an offer, and restore this home to the state it deserves. "

"The location is perfect. The entire place needs to be updated. Furniture is not comfortable and the carpet and kitchen all need to be replaced. We love the beach so much that we tried to overlook so much that was broken and in need of being replaced. We will be back but we will be looking for a different place. "

"We had a lovely week at Archer on Wrightsville Beach. The location really could not be better, just steps from the beach and a big pier. Great local food and places to visit. The cottage is very comfortable and well maintained, although not newly furnished or updated. When the electricity went out and AC stopped, the maintenance support came quickly and remained until it was resolved."

"The view and location are perfect. The house is in need of major upgrades.. The Stove on had one eye that worked and the stove didn't work at all. The tv's are on major need of upgrade.. There was no grill to cook out on.. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.. Just had to eat out every morning and night.."

"Great property and perfect for our family. Only concerns were the conditions of the deck and stairs leading up to the back deck. Nail heads on deck boards and stairs are rusty and several nail head came off when stepping on them. Often in bare feet; decks and stairs need maintenance."

"We loved the Archer property! Lots of room, very comfortable, and the view was fabulous! We spent every evening on the deck, watching the sun go down and star gazing. A fabulous place for a family vacation."

"Our stay was interesting. The rental is in a great location; however, a big bush blocks most of the view of the ocean. The view from the master is great! It was clean; however, there are multiple maintenance issues...warped doors, torn vinyl flooring, lights that flicker, a stove element that caught fire (while cooking dinner), a towel rack that fell off the wall, air filter had not been changed in a LONG time, dryer filter needs cleaning (down in the opening),and a strip of veneer that fell off the bar. There was no grill (fine because there was no ground to place one. Grounds need clearing). Reported everything to the rental company. We made the best of it and had a good time. Love the check-in/check-out process! Love the parking availability. "

"I had a wonderful experience working with Intercostal Realty. My contact Lisa was so helpful and went out of her way to make our stay special. The property was as described. It was clean and maintained. It needs some updates but worked well for us as we had young children with us. Besides, the location was perfect and I didn't travel across the country for the was the beach!! I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone who loves the ocean. Make sure you so to Roberts grocery store and get their cheese dip. It is awesome. The Chop House has superior steaks and service. Hope we are able to visit again some day."

"We were not too satisfied with out stay. The property was extremely overpriced for the value received. The property is very run down and needs updating. The carpet was dirty. Many doors had peeling veneer. The furniture, beds and kitchen were dated. The televisions were not too good, the primary remote control did not work well. The outdoor deck furniture was bottom of the line. Etc., etc. The cost for a two night stay was astronomical."

"We enjoyed our stay at Archer. All the beds were comfortable, plenty of seating in the living room. Loved the quiet dishwasher. the outside shower has hot and cold water, not private. The kitchen was a little lacking- only 1 cookie sheet, no casserole dishes for the microwave and only 3 dinner knives for 6 people. The deck furniture wasn't in the best shape- some of the plastic chairs were broken, and the metal ones are pretty rusty. Overall, we had a very nice week and would recommend this rental to others."
