Nice place to stay near UNCW and downtown

We enjoyed our stay. It was move-in weekend at UNCW, so we were super busy and didn’t get to spend much time at the house. We look forward to staying again in the future so we can enjoy it more! Everything was very clean and we appreciated the welcome basket of goodies.

Peaceful Beach Getaway

We had a wonderful experience. The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The kitchen was fully stocked and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The host was responsive and thoughtful—leaving us a basket of snacks and responding to an inquiry while we were there. Check-in was seamless, and everything worked according to plan during our stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed, beach getaway.
