Great location! Pantry extras!

Condo was at a great location! Bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Kitchen had plenty of kitchenware and plastic ware that was very useful to pack snacks for the beach! Loved the beach/flamingo decor throughout. Pantry had lots of extras (in case you forgot something) and there were extra towels, linens and pillows. Having a grill was a plus for our trip! Check in instructions were super easy and host was rapidly available answering questions. Great place for a family vacation stay!

Wedding Vacation

My daughter had her wedding April 26, 2025. I found this rental on Vrbo and I am so happy with the property. It was exactly as described. The host was quick to text and everything went smoothly. I was worried about cost before finding this rental, but this place checked all the boxes but a beach view, but I knew that when I booked it because the description was so accurate. Clean and spacious and comfortable. I’m so happy with my stay. Before leaving I went thru the house room by room just to show my gratitude to make sure I left it clean. Great stay and great property!

Whimsical condo in convenient location

Fun, whimsical condo close to Wrightsville Beach, UNCW, and downtown. It was very well equipped with all the essentials and a bonus of two bikes! We stayed here for a long weekend for dorm move out at UNCW and the condo was convenient to campus, the beach, and downtown. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Owner was extremely responsive and helpful!

A Lovely Getaway Weekend! Highly Recommended!

Overall this was an amazing place to stay! The location was incredible as we were very close to Wrightsville beach, downtown Wilmington, NC and lots of great restaurants. The house is so spacious and was evidently cleaned well before our arrival. We were allowed to check in early without requesting to do so! And I could bring my sweet pup without any issues after paying the fee. Communication with the property manager was very easy and he was super friendly. I even forgot something behind after checking out and was easily able to communicate and coordinate going back to pick it up. We only had 2 very minor complaints; one being that the handle of the microwave broke off/was already broken with us barely touching it (but it worked fine regardless and things like that can just happen!). Secondly, we did encounter a massive cockroach on the living room wall and a small roach upstairs, but we know the property was obviously cleaned before we arrived and the rain all weekend likely brought in the roaches. Ultimately, we really enjoyed our stay and would still highly recommend this place to everyone. It allowed for a fantastic stay in this area!

The Emerson's place is beautiful, well-appointed, incredibly well-stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen as well as two bikes! It's extremely clean and comfortable. It was centrally located to all our family reunion events from the beach, pickleball courts, restaurants, friends' houses, etc. The place has a "flamingo" theme and we made a challenge out of counting all of them and found 268 which includes all the ones on towels and cups! "Let's flamingle!" became our mantra for the week! Highly recommend this spot!

Even Better Than Expected

Although the reviews and ratings for this property were immaculate, I couldn't have expected how perfectly it would accommodate our group. We traveled with three small family units, each with at least one small child, and found the place to have everything we could have wanted and needed, and more. Each bedroom having an adjoining bathroom is a huge plus. Everything was clean, and we found this property to be more reasonably priced than others like it in the area. Every member of our party--kids included--loved it. Highest recommendation.
