Excellent House!

We had such a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and true to the pictures. This property was well stocked with everything you would need and had great appliances. The backyard was a great area. The fenced in yard was perfect for our pups. The yard was well lit, had ample seating, fire pit, and a charcoal grill. The house had plenty of space to be comfortable. I was able to work remotely for a few days with no issues or lag for video calls. The pocket door was an awesome surprise that helped us keep the spaces separated when needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, felt very safe, and was close to many stores and routes to get to the local attractions. If we ever come back to Wilmington, I will be sure to see if this house is available!

Outstanding!

This wonderful home was perfect for a couple weeks away with just me and my two miniature Dachshunds. This was not a beach stay, but just a quest for some alone time. The neighborhood was great- very safe and quiet. Excellent for my dogs due to large fenced back yard and plenty of patio furniture for meals or just sitting quietly. Plenty of beautiful plants and the strung night lights made evenings on the patio a very pleasant experience. The kitchen was spotless and fully equipped. All furniture and living spaces were well maintained and quite comfortable. Beds were great. nice front porch with rockers. Property manager was always available, but only needed to contact regarding check in clarification and trash day - no problems with which I needed help. I highly recommend this property and intend to make a second reservation shortly.
