Richard and Faye were phenomenal! The hospitality was out of this world! They provided us a tour of the cottage, explained expectations regarding the property, as well as leg us know where we could walk put 2 month old puppy. This was an EXTREMELY great experience. This is my second time staying at and an air b and b and my partners first time, it was a great experience. The cottage was located on their property, the owners gave us pir privacy while checking in periodically. We DEFINITELY will stay again!

Richard and Faith have a beautiful little hideaway. Everything you could possibly want is here. They are gracious hosts even waiting up late when you're plane gets delayed 5 hours! Many little kind extras that you would not expect but are so happy to have when you visit this property. It feels more like they have given a little piece of their home to their guests. Even at the late hour, after traveling so long, we got a personal tour to make sure we were comfortable and even a hug to welcome us to Wilmington.

5 Stars – Thoughtful Hosts & Perfectly Appointed Cottage

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cozy and beautifully maintained cottage. From the moment we arrived, the experience was warm and welcoming. The owner and his lovely wife personally greeted us and gave a quick tour of the cottage, which was such a nice personal touch.The space was very clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked. We were welcomed with a bowl of fresh organic fruit, a great variety of teas and K-Cups, and even fresh milk, bottled water, eggs, and bacon in the fridge. There was also a nice selection of individual cold cereals—perfect for easy mornings.The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee on the screened-in porch…such a peaceful spot.A unique and modern touch was the availability of both Siri and Google assistants on both levels of the cottage, which made it easy to play music or get quick weather updates. Coming home after dark was also easy thanks to the motion sensor lighting.The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming and relaxing space. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

This host is amazing! We had fresh fruit and muffins waiting on us after our long drive and the home was already air conditioned and had ice in the ice maker! Beautiful home with every amenity you could imagine. This is the only place I'll stay next time we visit the area.

Cottage near the beach

Mr Richard graciously welcomed us and was so very thorough in sharing where everything was! We enjoyed our stay. Quaint tiny cottage with lots of amenities! Mr Richard says he will be adding a driveway soon, as the current one is a shared entrance close to main house and close to neighbors. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

What you see is not exactly what you get.

Arrived at address & it looked so different from pictures we circled block a couple times. The guest house & the Host house is approximately 6 feet apart. Neighbors very close as well. The lake, park no where in sight as we circled the block. We were met by the 2 Hosts. They were pleasant as they gave us a tour of the guest quarters. It was clean and well stocked with what you would need & more.The day of booking, the Host asked the purpose of my visit. I stay vrbo’s several times a year in Wilmington because of family there. The house we usually rent is no longer available. I told him in this email I had two 9 lb. Yorkies. SOSiBella, my Medical Alert with certifications, paperwork & my other, Mavilyn. I was then notified by Vrbo, “ The Host wants to charge you a Pet Fee” I confirmed the two pets, in a reply email, and stated I accepted that.We stayed two nights. On day of check out, I received an email from Host accusing me of “ reporting one pet, showing up with two, & not paying for them.” I referred him to the email on day of booking.We were there 3 days. Walking both pet’s multiple times of day & the guest quarters are so close to hosts home, it would be impossible to walk them or even come & go to your car , without hosts being aware.And, with traffic, it took us at least 40 minutes to get to the beach where my family lives.This is the most disturbing stay with Vrbo ever.His emails to me have been insulting & hurtful.
