42nd Bliss

My family an I had a wonderful stay. The house is small but very charming. Michael has done a great job making sure that everything is as should be to make your stay a great experience. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs and they had a great time running around and exploring it. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come down to Wilmington.

Home away from home!

Michael’s place was the perfect place for our family vacation! Check in was super easy. The house had all the amenities we could need. My superhero loving toddler loved the bunk bed room! There were games and toys in there which was so helpful and kept him entertained.The house was clean and smelled amazing, my husband and I commented every time we opened the door “it smells so good in here!”. We will definitely stay here again when we’re back in Wilmington!

Well appointed spacious home in a quiet neighborhood convenient to all of the Wilmington area amenities. Very clean and the host was exceptional. The bunk room was well stocked with fun items for entertaining kids; made us wish ours hadn’t grown! Large fenced in yard was great for the pet and with parking right at the back door made for easy unload/and load. Will be our first choice on any return trips to the area.

Exactly as pictured. Quiet neighborhood.Hair from previous guests was on shower wall & we had a couple roach sightings in the kitchen. Gaming system did not permit us to play any video games & the quality of the bicycles were subpar. Overall a decent place to stay, just did not meet the expectations from previous reviews & my own personal cleanliness preferences.

Wonderful stay.

Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I would have liked to stay longer. The quiet neighborhood was nice while drinking coffee on the front porch in the mornings. Dogs had more than enough room to roam—a huge lot to be so close to everything. We didn't walk because of the heat, but it was a very walkable location. There was a nice assortment of basketballs and soccer balls to enjoy both goals. The host was kind and responsive.

Exactly what we needed. Quiet little neighborhood not far from the city and the beaches. House was clean and comfortable. Used the bikes a little, but they were mostly in need of maintenance

This super cute home is in a great central location and has the best vibe inside and out. The houseplants and garden outside make it feel so homey. Everything was clean and there was not a single issue. We would definitely stay again when in Wilmington ♥️ thank you!!!
