We had a great stay at this Wilmington rental. The space was spotless and well furnished; with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was very convenient—just a short walk to downtown and a short drive to the Wrightsville Beach and many other attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even more seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient home base in Wilmington.

UNCW Orientation

This home is beautiful and cozy! It’s so nicely set up. We were looking for a place not too far from campus. There are lots of good restaurant choices nearby. We just wished we could have stayed a little longer.

Great location and even better house

This house has been completely redone recently and it’s a beautiful property. The location is perfect and it’s about a mile to the river walk with a brewery 2 blocks up from here. We will probably stay here again and highly recommend!

Great little house!

We stayed here to attend a concert at the amphitheater. Unfortunately our concert was cancelled but we decided to go to Wilmington anyway to get away for the weekend. The house is clean and totally modern and within walking distance of great restaurants and breweries. It’s also a short drive to the riverfront. The host, Scott, was wonderful and all his instructions were clear and simple. We would definitely stay here again.
