Welcome to The Sweet Escape~
Upon arrival to The Sweet Escape you will find a fun snack basket in the kitchen & bottled water in the fridge. You can also brew a cup of coffee with all the extras in case you need a pick me up!
If you need a quick nap, there are three comfortable beds (already made) with 100% high thread count, cotton sheets. You will find this on a very safe cul de sac in a quiet, wide street, low traffic neighborhood perfect for your morning walks~
The Sweet Escape is less than ten minutes from UNCW & fifteen minutes from Wilmington's Historic Downtown Riverfront. You can also walk just five minutes away to a coffee shop / restaurant & only a ten minute walk to Mayfair.

We have three bedrooms, featuring three very comfortable beds ~ One king & 2 queen beds. We have one full bathroom & a half bathroom. Our living room features a 65 inch smart TV along with a new leather sofa and swivel chair. We also have a step down den set up with new sofa, two chairs and a desk / chair duo. We also have a 43 inch smart TV in the den. There’s a pocket door that can keep the kids video sound out from the other room!
We offer a fully equipped kitchen with all large and small appliances. If you have any particular specialty item for the kitchen that you may need, please inquire and I'll make sure to have it for you. Kitchen leads out to our patio that is set up for relaxing by our beautiful garden / grill area and the fire pit (we provide firewood & kindling) The back yard is fenced in for your small children & pups safety and we have recently added overhead lighting features to enhance the outdoor ambiance, highlight the charm of the garden area and offer the perfect setting for evening conversations and photo ops! There is plentiful parking with room for an RV, boat & trailer (Municipal boat ramp is just under 3 miles away).
We take pride in our home and ensure that it's cleaned & sanitized properly for your stay.

Very nice comfy cozy place lots of space perfect for families and pets. Had absolutely everything you would need for a home away from home. Convenient to everything on a very safe quiet street.

The home was great. My only concern was the fenced area because my dog could have escaped in a few areas where the fence was low and there's a planter box that my dog could have easily jumped the fence.

This has been one of my favorite stays!! The home was sweetly decorated for Christmas, which was just the best surprise and is not something we have experienced as frequent holiday travelers. The home is very well taken care of and very clean. The fenced in yard is perfect especially with the warm December days! The proximity to the beach and shopping you really can’t beat!

This VRBO is in an excellent location, especially if you're planning on going to Wrightsville beach. We dove to Wrightsville beach in under 10 minutes, and there are so many shopping centers and amenities nearby. The place was clean and exceptionally dog friendly. The beds are very comfortable as well. Thank you for making our stay so easy and enjoyable!
