Amazing

The owners were amazing. The place was close and convenient to everything. There was a tropical storm and I felt completely safe. I have all positives and could go on and on. Best VRBO I have stayed in.

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Meroe Wheatley

Wilmington has been our home for more than 20 years. We have spent many years traveling and enjoying vacation rentals, B&Bs and small hotels all over the world. Through these experiences we know all the little details that make a great vacation memorable. We want to be sure you have a wonderful stay at Heron's Nest. As active retirees we love our home here in Wilmington, our vibrant historical downtown area and beautiful Wrightsville Beach.

Why they chose this property

We love the casual coastal vibe of Wilmington and the beautiful old historic downtown. We wanted a home that was close enough to the white sand and turquoise waters of Wrightsville beach so we could go for a beach walk after supper. We loved the big back yard with an old live oak ---and this great house had the potential to have room for our growing crop of visiting grandchildren and friends.

What makes this property unique

We are hoping to offer a relaxing environment where you have all the privacy you want to rest and rejuvenate. You will find peace and quiet, in a location just minutes away from all the highlights of our area. We are here to help as needed, your privacy and comfort is our first goal.
