Lovely home. Nice neighbors. Place has a small yard, so don't expect to let the pups out with a place to get the zooms out, but the community is perfect for those nice long walks with your pet buddy. Host is great and responsive. I have added this place for the next time I'm in Wilmington! The Ibis Coffee Shop is a 7 minute walk and well worth it :)
Cherie was quick to answer questions, house had everything we needed for a long stay. Very comfortable house for a gathering of 4-6 individuals. Backyard was fenced in so nice to be able to let the dog out at night. Easy walk to a lot of coffee, lunch and dinner spots.
This place was so cute! Perfectly stocked kitchen, very open and spacious downstairs. Upstairs were three bedrooms all nicely decorated. Sheets and beds were comfy! Quiet alley and nice area to walk your dogs around the block!
The house was well stocked and so comfortable. Walking distance to downtown was a plus. Very good house if you have a dog. Very nice tip that they left a water bowl out for the dogs. Thanks.
The house was very beautiful and decorated so cozy. The beds were a hit with everyone and the grandkids loved the kids room. Super close to everything. Thanks for a wonderful stay
The beds were comfortable, the sofa was cozy, throw blankets were a nice touch, everything was super clean, and the location is great. Easily within walking distance to downtown, the neighborhood is super quiet and cute. We would stay again in a second.
Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home when visiting Wilmington for the holidays and a school tour. Perfectly situated with easy access to downtown, restaurants, and stores. Comfy couch for us all to enjoy football and movies over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Hugely recommend the Flying Machine Oyster Bar in Wrightsville beach - The "Tower" fish sandwich is amazing. And closer to the house, definitely hit up Folks Cafe.

Hi Andrew! Thank you so much for sharing your experience staying at my bnb. I am so thrilled to hear you enjoyed it and all the fun local activities. Please come stay again in the future!
We loved our stay. The house is lovely and had everything we needed. Super clean and nicely decorated. Having 2.5 bathrooms was a big plus.
Close to downtown and very convenient to everything we wanted to do.
The only downside was that coffeemaker was broken but we figured out a workaround.
We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay here in Wilmington. We had plenty of room, the house was clean and exactly as pictured. The owner was very responsive with any questions or concerns, even during our stay. Downtown was about a 15 minute walk, and a little less than a mile which worked out great. Definitely recommend!
Great location near the historical district and riverwalk.
The rental was very comfortable for our family stay. Loved the large comfortable sofa and large screen TV in the living room, open kitchen to eating area with table and 6 chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and other common supplies. Bedrooms were nicely decorated with firm mattresses. The host was easy to get ahold of for answering questions and responded quickly. All in all we had a great stay at this home.

Hi Micki, thanks again for choosing my rental! I really enjoyed hosting you. Please come back and visit again!
Thanks,
Cherie
Very clean and Comfortable in beautiful Wilmington NC
Our family (an extended family of six) spent two very comfortable nights in this perfect size home. We were all extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the entire home. The towels and bed linens were super clean and comfortable. Our host Cherie was fantastic with our booking and follow up questions. Location was convenient and everything went very smoothly. Great Visit. We would certainly book again!!
Thanks

I am so glad you enjoyed your time at my house! Thank you so much for your kind words. I look forward to hosting you all again in the future!
We loved staying at this beautiful home. The beds were extremely comfortable and seating options were plentiful and comfy in the communal living space. We have some challenged with the key-less entry but Cherie was quick to help with those. The only negative was that there was no coffee pot which meant we had to go out and get coffee every morning which was about 20 dollars a day for 5 days to accommodate our coffee drinkers. We would definitely stay here again. Walkable to downtown and a beautiful neighborhood.

Hi Kala, thanks for your review. I just want to mention that I did inform you right away that the previous guest that checked out the morning of your check-in date broke our coffee carafe, not the whole machine. I ordered a replacement immediately but unfortunately it didn't arrive in time for you. As of today we now have a brand new whole coffee maker at the property. I hope you'll give us a shot again and you will have coffee a plenty! :)
We stayed at this property for two nights. The house spacious and clean. The towels were especially fresh. All of us were adults, but the room that is set up for children is adorable and has lots of books and toys for them. We didn’t have a pet, but the downstairs was clearly pet friendly. We also enjoyed the front porch, the back porch, and the ambiance of the neighborhood. Cherie was super responsive but we had zero problems.
The family stayed here while our daughter attended UNCW orientation. The house completely met our expectations! It was clean, well organized, and had a nice floor plan!! The couch with the large footstool was especially nice for the evening wind down!! The location was ideal as well, with downtown only a few blocks away; we enjoyed venturing downtown and eating at some of the different local restaurants. We brought our dog along and enjoyed walking around the historic neighborhoods and checking out all of the old houses!! Overall, a great house in a great location!! Would definitely stay here again!!

Thank you so much for your thorough review! We appreciate you!! :)
We loved our stay in Wilmington! The house is beautifully done and is convenient walk to downtown/riverwalk. It is also very quiet on a charming side street. We loved that it was pet friendly but was still so clean. Our host was very communicative and responded promptly to any questions we had.
The whole house was very cozy and comfortable - the master bed was better than any hotel we stayed in! I think the only suggestion would be some proper kitchen knives - we did cook a few meals while we were there and that was the only thing lacking in the kitchen, otherwise we had everything we needed.
Highly recommend and we hope to stay again in the future!

Thank you Jennifer for your kind review. We will replace the knives asap! Thanks! :)
Property is in excellent location within walking distance to food, coffee and shops on Castle street as well as to downtown Wilmington. Safe area for families. The home is well maintained with lots of space to spread out. The king bed had a great mattress and soft sheets and blankets. Owner notified us at checkin of a repair that needed to be made and worked w us on a convenient time. Room in the back yard for our small dog to run around and plenty of sidewalks nearby for longer walks. The houses are close together in this section of downtown Wilmington, but we never heard any noise from neighbors. We were able to fit two cars here - one in the side space and one in front of house (Sequoia fit both places). We landed here after our original rental nearby had no water and this owner was so helpful in answering my questions about the water line repair situation, and getting us booked quickly. 100% recommend and would stay here again.

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful review! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the home, especially the comfy king bed, spacious layout, and the great walkable location near Castle Street and downtown Wilmington. I'm also glad your pup had room to stretch their legs in the backyard!
It was a pleasure hosting you, and I appreciated your flexibility with the repair during your stay. We always strive to be transparent and accommodating, so I’m glad it worked out smoothly. Thanks again for choosing our home—I’d love to welcome you back anytime you're in town!
