Excellent Stay

Bird’s Eye View is the perfect place for a getaway. The home is clean, well maintained, and has everything you could need. It is in a prime location that is close to downtown and a short drive to the beach. Lots of restaurants, shopping, and the historic beauty of Wilmington are right around the corner. The hosts are extremely friendly and responsive and you can tell they care about their property and the guests that are staying there. This is our second time staying here and we can’t wait to come back again!

The reason for only 4 stars for the area around is this is a historical district, and many home are in need to renovation or have not been upkept well. Our little house had been totally updated and was great!! Jason and Katie were great hosts!!

Super Clean and Convenient

Our hosts were great communicators and had the place spotless for us when we showed up. There was a lovely welcome basket for us and our dog. There is a wonderful Neapolitan pizza joint and bear garden in walking distance, along with cafes and breakfast joints. Convent to downtown and the beach. Would stay again in the future.

Wonderful Host

We booked for the first time using VRBO, I didn't realize that when I filled out the search criteria (pet friendly) that it did not automatically include we would have pets. Jason and Katie handled this with ease, very happy to host our family along with our fur babies. We had a wonderful time and even got to show our little one a movie being shot on the same street. We will stay again when we go back to visit our family in Wilmington.

We stayed here for the weekend to move our son into UNC-W because he had a super early dorm check-in on Saturday and we live 2 1/2hrs away from UNC-W. It was perfect! So close to the university, super clean, beds very comfortable (even the pullout), and had everything we needed!! The pullout is only a double bed so it’s great for one adult, or two small kids. We did bring a full size air mattress so our 12 yr old did not have to share the pullout with his 18 yr old brother Fri night and there was plenty of room to set up that air mattress near the washer/dryer area in kitchen. Everyone was happy and had their own space… it was truly ideal for us! We’ll be back when we come to visit him! Great place!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Barton

Host profile image
Katie and I both grew up in Tennessee. We moved to Wilmington to be closer to my family and enjoy the beach. We love hosting because it allows us to meet new people and open ourselves to new places. We're right next door, so we often interact with guests, which has been rewarding.

Why they chose this property

We live in the neighborhood and love it. It's close to a lot of good restaurants and is not too far from the beach. We're close to the action but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. We know and love all our neighbors and often gather during summer weekends and holidays.

All of our guests so far have loved our location for the same reasons as we do - convenient to everything yet still quiet and walkable. You get the opportunity to feel like a local while here.

What makes this property unique

The front porch is a highlight. It's big with plenty of seating. It also sits high (thus the name Bird's Eye View), so it feels private as well. Otherwise, we have solid furniture and a Fully-equipped kitchen. The home has all the comforts of home.
