Hi Ryanne, thank you for your positive messages 😊 we really appreciate it, and are so happy you had a great time I saw that you left a charger in the dining area. Do you want me to send it to you? It’s not an ordinary phone charger so I’m thinking that it might be important.

Our accommodations were outstanding as was our host, Karen. It’s obvious Karen takes a great deal of pride in her property and wants her guests to have the best experience possible. Our home was clean, well-stocked with essentials, and located in a very quiet neighborhood that was within a 14 minute walk to downtown Wilmington. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was beautiful, comfortable, well stocked and in a perfect location. It’s in walking distance to the Riverwalk and to Hidden Grounds. The front porch had an awesome sectional couch that was perfect for having our afternoon coffee. Our stay unfortunately was cut short due to bad storms but we will totally be back and staying here again :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Within walking distance to Downtown and the River Walk and an easy 15-minute drive to Wrightsville Beach, the location cannot be beat. Parking was never an issue, check in was simple and efficient and Karen always responds quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.
