Family Vacation

The stay here was PERFECT! The house was amazing! It was myself, my husband, my 21 y/o daughter, and her boyfriend and there was more than enough room for everyone. Hitting up the Seafood and Farmers Markets were a big hit for meals! While here we went to several beaches for peaceful, picking up shells beaches go to Caswell (it was my favorite) for waves fun go to Freeman ! The Boardwalk at Wilmington was really enjoyable as well! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOUSE IS PERFECT FOR THE PRICE AND LOCATION! It is PEACEFUL and still close to everything! We would tell everyone to come here!

Family time

This is a beautiful house in an area where we have several relatives. During our stay, we got to visit with some that we haven’t seen in years. The front and back yards of the property were beautifully landscaped.The fire pit and horse shoes in the back were our favourite outdoor activity. Inside the house was perfect. Comfortable beds, and a well equipped kitchen were appreciated.We would definitely book this property again in the future.

More training!

My wife and I are so pleased with our stay. If I am in Southport/Wilmington area in the near future, this would be our first choice. The rental was spotless, quite and offered a fire pit to share the days events with friends and family. The attention to detail and the location to the local airport offered all I could wish for. Thank you for offering a home away from home. Dave and Lani

The home showed much better in person than in the on-line photos.

The home exceeded my expectations not only by how it looked inside but by all the carefull preparation that was done to prepare it for visitors. Everything that was needed was provided and beyond. The home decorations and furnishings were very nice and some were even hand made, including antique pillow covers. The home was very clean and comfortable.

The house was cute and clean the tv’s didn’t always work it was so far from everything which wasn’t made clear if you needed a loaf of bread it was a good 20 minutes away to far from the beaches as so dark at nite outside only little lites couldn’t really see we had our dog with us not sure but it was boring because of the location.

I'm surprised Susan, when checking in, you said you had so much fun. Even before you came you asked me about shopping & restaurants which I gave you extra information besides what is written on the website. The backyard has a lot of lighting. Light on the outside of garage, and also the little shed. The light in the porch guides you to the other lights. If you couldn't find them I was always available to ask. There is a Dollar Store close by for a quick stop. Perhaps you're looking for a vacation in a busy city. Reading all the reviews of past guests should give a good idea of what our property offers. We did adjust the schedule of the cleaners so you could stay an extra day.

Settling getaway from the big apple

Very beautiful gem in a quiet neighborhood… house very clean spotless. Equipped with everything you need for your stay. Enjoyed the back yard fire pit, and mostly bbq with good weather. Really smooth process in checking in. The host is amazing she helped us in any questions we had and also invited us to a concert in town. Beach is near by very convenient. Will be definitely back in the future. Thank you for the hospitality.

Lovely

You'll love this place. It's very clean, cozy, and really cute. Backyard is fenced in and is great for kids or pets. Beds are very comfortable. It's very quiet there so you sleep well. It is in a rural area, so the roads can get very dark for driving at night. Harris Teeter is only about 20 minutes away for shopping, as well as restaurants. So even though it's rural,there are conveniences that aren't too far away. We really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent Accommodations

The backyard of this property is divine! We had an excellent stay with just about everything we needed. Clean and cutely decorated with a little whimsy. The hosts were responsive and very kind. We were able to go exploring in Wilmington, as well as Oak Island, which both were about 25mins away. I think the only thing we wished we had had was salt & pepper (and possibly some cooking spray) in the kitchen. Other than that, this was a well-kept home that made for a very relaxing vacation! Thank you, again!

Thank you for staying & leaving such a nice review! Thanks for the note on salt & pepper. I may have to set something up with the cleaners to add some every time they clean. I think what I had there people may have mistakenly taken with there other supplies when they packed to leave. Glad you liked the backyard. Every year we try to add more improvements. We have more plans for next year! Hope you can come again to check it out! It was great to have you!

Home away from home!

We were so thankful to stay in this lovely home while we were in transition after selling our house. It is a comforting place, and felt like being welcomed into a friend's home. Our needs were planned for in a very thoughtful way, even in details such as nostalgic dishes to use, and lovely quilts. The home is decorated in a lovely, comforting, and artistic way. We also enjoyed the nice porches and the fenced yard with a fire pit. The area is great too - very quiet. Our family loved driving through the farmland near the neighborhood, getting to regularly see horses and cows. Colleen is a great host - very thoughtful, and is quick to answer any questions. We highly recommend this home!
