One Oar Missing so cute
What a lovely rental. Besides finding a few pieces of glass and metal on carpet and needing a good vacuum this rental was great! Sound bar kept going out on tv every 2-3 hrs and remote didn’t work to control so you did have to reset manually. Outside areas are fabulous! Little hard to find entrance off US17 but once you find it, easy to remember access.

Great Stay for Two
If you are a couple looking for a place for a long weekend getaway, this place is close to everything. Jim, the host was very responsive. The place is a little hard to find the first time but Jim assisted and we got right in. Did not use the pool and did not spend much time at the cottage itself.

Unkind rentors
Given wring code to enter, property was not clean...floors and counters, fridge, shower was dirty, spotty Internet service, rentors refused to show me how to turn on stove/convection oven..it would not turn on, I could not prepare my dinner so I ended up eating a cheese sandwich for supper, I left early.

Nice visit
Exactly as described. I hate snakes and there was a snake skin next to our entrance. That is picky me but gross. A little small for two adults and our dog. Very cute inside and very nice of owners to let us and dog go in their pool. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see area around Wilmington.

Perfect for what we wanted
We wanted a quiet relaxing vacation all to ourselves, not a crowded beach. We wanted the sun, the pool, a hot tub and to read a book and be with our dogs. We got that. It was a quiet, lovely quaint little cottage that we really enjoyed. Jim, we very responsive every time I texted him prior to our stay and during with any questions. Really happy with our choice to stay here.

Cutest cottage there is!
We could not of been happier with our stay. Including my 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter, we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, pool, & the area. We would love to come back to stay longer than a week next time. There was just enough room for us. They even brought us fresh towels. The flowers were also a nice touch. Thank you for being such awesome hosts ❤️

A Little Slice of Paradise
If I could make this place my own, I'd be in paradise every day. This was perfect for a weekend get-away. Everything was clean and orderly when we walked in. The pool was cool and refreshing, the sitting/BBQ area was just waiting to be lounged on. The little extras (fresh cut flowers, dog & human treats, a bottle of wine) that were provided makes this vrbo hands down an 11 out of 10. Jim, Will, Bailey, Woody and Lloyd are wonderful hosts with great communication. If all VRBO owners were like this what an awesome world we would live in.

This spot is perfect if you want to explore Wilmington and the surrounding beaches. Conveniently located for exploring the North Carolina Coast. It's also perfect if you just need a space to get away and relax.

It's Own Little Oasis
Even though the property is located on a main thoroughfare, you don't know it once you are there. The courtyard, available for use by all guests is like a private hideaway, the perfect place to relax and enjoy a sunny afternoon. The cottage was adprable and comfortsble, access was simple, and even though my weekend activites kept me away, I was still able to enjoy the quiet and just relax. Thank you for the stay!

Cute cottage bungalow
Little cottage stay, approx. 30 minutes from the downtown Wilmington area. Just be aware that the location is a part of owner’s back yard but you have direct access to the courtyard with a very cute relaxing area & pool. Thanks for the recommendations!
