Neighbourhood
We felt the neighbourhood was not safe7 sheriffs outside one house
Very nice property. The Host Richard was very accommodating to our needs. The place is very clean and conveniently located. Looking forward to returning here!!!
The rental is a charming guest cottage with all amenities and a screened in porch. It was very comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. Convenient location close to many restaurants, parks and public beach access. The property owners were so wonderful and very accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again!
Richatd was very detailed about everything when checking in and even had muffins waiting for us,we were traveling woth our boxer and standard poodle so we loved there was a park within walking distance, and it is pretty close to downtown wilmington and local beaches. Pwrfect for a weekend getaway in wilmington if you have dogs and dont care about staying right on a beach
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.
Convenient location, close to beach and city. Hosts were great, the place was clean and well stocked. Would stay again :)

Our stay was amazing!! Richard is the best host, had everything we needed and more. Gave us an extensive tour and was always available to us. Super friendly and accommodating. Cottage was lovely- very clean and well stocked. Perfect location to Wrightsville beach and downtown! Would book again in a heartbeat!
The property in Wilmington was just as described. The space had everything we needed and the hosts were friendly and available. Although we were tucked away in a neighborhood, it was easy to get to major roads and highways.
Richard and his wife were very friendly. Apon arrival Richard had supplied fresh fruit, milk, eggs as well as additional breakfast items. Bed was very comfortable.
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.
We had a wonderful stay in this fantastic cottage,,, its a beautiful home and the owner went way beyond our expectations, with all kinds of welcoming amenities to make our stay so very comfortable. It was easy to locate, not far from the beaches and restaraunts. My sister and I had a wonderful time ..I HIGHLY recommend this place . 2 thumbs up and 5 stars :)
Quite the charmer! Very quiet neighborhood. Hosts are the sweetest people and very eager to ensure their guests enjoy their stay.
We did not venture out to find the lake- hoping to do that next time.
The owner of the property is such a nice person. He gave us a tour of the property when we got there and let us know how everything worked. The little house is lovely and we enjoyed our stay. Pet friendly, too! A huge plus. :)
This was a great place to stay. I came to Wilmington to visit a friend and needed a place to stay and work from. Excellent hospitality, all the comforts of home were available. Richard didn’t skip a single thing. I liked the small touches that made this a great place, TV’s and Netflix in every room, Siri and google, the small food items (eggs, milk, muffins, fruit, coffee), and washer/dryer, just to name a few.
I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Wilmington.
We arrived and Richard was waiting for us. He lives in the next door house. He is available without being intrusive. He stocked the house with many essentials, including milk and eggs. Cleanliness is very important to me; I would use his cleaning service for my own home if I could.
We had a soccer tournament at Ogden Park for the weekend so we we’re trying to find somewhere near where to crash.
We found a comfortable place with great communication from the owner, quite neighborhood, enough space for my wife and i and 2 kids.
The price was better than the hotel we had planned, my kids had a tv in their room so that helped keep downstairs quite for me and the wife.
Well equipped cottage with everything you need and more.
We are planning to come back during the summer just to visit Wilmington.
Thank you for the hospitality.
