My family an I had a wonderful stay. The house is small but very charming. Michael has done a great job making sure that everything is as should be to make your stay a great experience. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs and they had a great time running around and exploring it. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come down to Wilmington.
