We had a wonderful stay- the home was spacious for my family of 4. It has a fenced yard for your fur babies. Plus it has a basketball net for some outdoor fun. The house was clean with all the essentials we needed for our stay. The beds were comfy and the location was great for us!

This house was perfect for our weekend stay in Wilmington while we attended a wedding. We brought our two small dogs who loved exploring the large fenced in yard. We had everything we needed and the location was super convenient to everything.
