Clean and comfortable. Being 81 yrs old the low toilets and two bathtubs that were high to step into was a challenge but manageable.

We came into town for a girls weekend and the property was perfect for our needs. Great location in Wilmington near tons of restaurants and shopping, and only a 20 min drive to downtown Wilmington. The townhome was immaculate, well stocked and updated. We will definitely keep this property in mind for our next trip!

Our stay at this rental was wonderful! The property was exactly as described in the listing and exceeded our expectations. We traveled with a family that included children ranging in age from 4 to 10, and it was a great fit for everyone.The hosts were exceptionally communicative, responsive, and attentive to every question we had. They thoughtfully stocked the home with everything we needed—from toilet paper and paper towels to spices for cooking—which made our stay comfortable and convenient.One thing worth noting is that the twin bedroom is a loft-style space with an open layout. Because it isn't fully enclosed, noise from the living room below can easily be heard upstairs. It wasn't a major issue for us, but it's something future guests may want to keep in mind if they have light sleepers.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was incredibly cozy, welcoming, and well-appointed, and we would absolutely rent this property again!

Short Wilmington getaway

Clean, quiet property, everything was exactly as listed. Little patio out back was nice and shaded in the evening to sit outside for a while. Location close to beach and downtown Wilmington. Owners communicate nicely prior to your arrival with everything you need to know. I would stay here again!

Great place! Very comfortable, close to restaurants, groceries about a 9 minute drive to beach.

We had a wonderful time and communication with owner was stellar. The only pickle was the pool which was not maintained. Location was great, kitchen well-appointed and accommodations very comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful getaway

The property was immaculate and well stocked. The beds were VERY comfortable and the location was great for easy access to the beach and to great restaurants and the walking gardens nearby were terrific. Had a couple of quick logistical questions when we were there and they were responded to immediately. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area (we were there for a wedding).

Great place, great location, exceptional customer service

Went to Wilmington for my nieces graduation and had to find a place last minute. We couldn’t have been happier. Plenty of space for our family and everything was very clean. Beds were comfortable and the kids loved being able to look down to the living room from their bedroom. We would 100% stay here again, next time we are back in town.

Wonderful rental!

Our first trip to Wilmington & a wonderful experience overall. Telfair is highly communicative & makes everything so easy for you! Townhouse is very comfortable, in both it's decor and livability.

Convenient Home Away

This townhome is perfectly outfitted and situated to enjoy both Wilmington and area beaches. Everything in the home was exactly as advertised: clean, well-organized, and comfortable. It was the perfect space for our family of four for a weekend get away! Telfair is a gracious and very responsive host, ready to be available and helpful. We will definitely look to stay again next time we're in the area. Thank you!

Better than we ever imagined!

This property is even more beautiful in person! We were in town for the Ironman competition, and this location was perfect! Minutes from the beach, and in a nice area. The owner is so responsive and was sure to update us well in advance on all check on procedures! We had everything we needed, and some! There was even a cute basket of snacks left in the kitchen for us. Such a nice touch! The beds were so comfy, everything was very clean, and we really loved our stay here. Will definitely stay again!

Family Reunion Wilmington

My son now living in Spain is a UNCW alum. Visiting the states with his wife and son we thought Wilmington would be the perfect place to reunite with other family members. The house we chose was perfect for the four of us and 3 cousins to stay. The house is centrally located to access all parts of Wilmington. The neighborhood is safe and quiet and the house pleasantly decorated as well as clean and comfortable. I highly recommend both Wilmington and this house for anyone planning a visit to the coast of North Carolina.

Wilmington. & UNCW visit

Our trip to Wilmington was a wonderful experience. This townhome was perfect for our family of 4. The location was perfect for our daughter’s college tour at UNCW, visiting the Fort Fisher Aquarium, & trips to the beach & historic downtown. The townhome was nicely decorated, clean and the beds were comfortable. Telfair was a responsive & accommodating property manager allowing us to get in an hour before arrival time and answering general questions for us. We would gladly stay here again. :)
