About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautiful, Charming, Historic Riverfront and Wrightsville Beach!

As we find ourselves in challenging times, trying to get back to some kind of normal, we want to assure our guests that we are making every possible effort to ensure their comfort and safety when they stay at one of our properties. We want you to know that we use a professional cleaning service that strictly follows the most state-of-the-art procedures when it comes to disinfection. The disinfectant that they use is EPA registered and CDC approved. Their teams are trained to comply with OSHA standards and have completed a Covid-19 awareness certification course. The health and safety of our guests is their greatest priority.

Additionally, we have keyless entry keypad locks so you can self check-in.

Great WIFI especially important for everyone's Zoom Meetings!!

In addition to being crazy clean… our property is also gorgeous and comfortable! The house was remodeled completely in 2016 and because of Hurricane Florence, was remodeled again in 2018! During that remodel, we updated the 2nd bathroom to include a beautiful, subway tiled, walk-in shower with frameless double glass doors, a new marble backsplash in the kitchen and added wonderful deep seat wicker furniture to our deck, to which we’ve just added gorgeous new cushions! We’ve also added new mattresses throughout the home and now have queens in both the master and 2nd bedroom, twin beds in the 3rd bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, easily accommodating 8 guests… or more with the inflatable mattresses that we’ve added.
Our split bedroom design is perfect for providing privacy as the master bedroom is at the opposite end of the house from the other two bedrooms.

Our beautiful, bright eat-in kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home…Keurig and Mr. Coffee coffee makers, a stand mixer, electric griddle, crockpot, toaster, electric kettle and more!! We have a 49 inch smart TV, Roku to stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. and an antenna which gives you all the major networks, a BlueRay player and hundreds of DVD’s

Lastly, but probably the most important to many people is our location…it just can’t be beat for convenience… just about 2 miles to Historic Downtown Wilmington and the bustling nightlife of the riverfront and about 6 miles to the sandy white beaches of beautiful Wrightsville Beach. We’re also just a five minute drive to Wilmington International Airport.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television along with a DVD player are provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We had a great stay at Beth's home! The home was spotlessly clean and matched the listing perfectly — exactly what was advertised.Beth was an outstanding host — very responsive whenever we had a question, which made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. She truly thought of everything! The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked as well as soap, shampoo in the showers, a hair dryer, and even a flat iron. It's the little details like these that really make a difference.The property is nestled in a gorgeous neighborhood, adding to the overall charm of the stay. The location is hard to beat — we were just minutes from downtown Wilmington's historic riverfront, with easy access to all the great restaurants, shops, and points of interest the area has to offer. There are so many beaches to enjoy within about 30 min. from Beth's home. Wrightsville Beach is about 25 min. away, and you're also perfectly positioned to explore many of NC's other beautiful beaches, including Southport and Oak Island. If you're willing to drive a little further, Myrtle Beach is only about an hour and fifteen minutes away, making it a very easy day trip.We'd absolutely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting the Wilmington area!

We were in Wilmington with friends to visit our college kiddos for Parent's Weekend and were very fortunate to stay 3 nights at this wonderful home. Beth is the consummate host, checking in occasionally throughout our stay to ensure everything was perfect. The home is situated in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, super close to campus and downtown Wilmington, and around 15 minutes from the beach. The home is well-equipped (the kitchen had absolutely everything needed for us to treat our college kiddos to a home-cooked meal), the beds are comfortable and the living spaces are great for gathering, relaxing, laughing and catching up. We are very thankful for Beth's hospitality and for the time shared at her home with friends and family - a very memorable weekend! We will definitely look to stay again when we return to Wilmington. Thank you Beth!

We had a very comfortable stay and felt very at home. At the end of each busy day of visiting with family and sightseeing, we were able to comfortably sit back and relax with our dogs for the evening. Beth and David were very accommodating, to the extent that they installed a solar, motion detector outdoor light to assist with nighttime potty breaks for our dogs. The neighborhood was very quiet and access to 17 was quick and easy. We will definitely stay there for any future trips to Wilmington.
Our dogs were definitely comfortable.

Perfect Wilmington VRBO

The owner could not have been better. She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect! Extra blankets & pillows, well stocked kitchen, spotless, wonderful deck to hang out on, laminated instructions, and even a washer & dryer. It was perfect for four sisters coming into town for a family wedding. Such a quiet location, yet so close to everything.. Don't think twice about staying here. It was a dream stay!
