The home is beautifully decorated and the upgrades are amazing. The home has a cozy feel and the beds were very comfortable. The home is fully stocked with items you may need. They have a little snack bar l, coffee bar for guests and dog treats for your fur babies. Everything was very thoughtful. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book here again the next time we are in town visiting family.

We had a great stay at this Wilmington rental. The space was spotless and well furnished; with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was very convenient—just a short walk to downtown and a short drive to the Wrightsville Beach and many other attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even more seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient home base in Wilmington.

This home is beautiful and cozy! It’s so nicely set up. We were looking for a place not too far from campus. There are lots of good restaurant choices nearby. We just wished we could have stayed a little longer.

Such a cute house. Exactly like the pictures and as described. The appliances were all great especially the washer /dryer. Beds were comfy with nice linens. Very clean. Easy parking right in the front. Overall quiet location. Host was extremely responsive and kind. I like that there was not a long list of “no’s” posted all over like some rentals. Made our week long stay feel like home.

Great little house!

We stayed here to attend a concert at the amphitheater. Unfortunately our concert was cancelled but we decided to go to Wilmington anyway to get away for the weekend. The house is clean and totally modern and within walking distance of great restaurants and breweries. It’s also a short drive to the riverfront. The host, Scott, was wonderful and all his instructions were clear and simple. We would definitely stay here again.
