Well equipped kitchen and floor plan works well with a family. We stayed 3 weeks and the location was great for beach and downtown Wilmington! We cooked, grilled and had multiple cars to park and we never felt cramped or annoyed with the specifics of rental.

Great stay

The property was very clean. The beds were absolutely awesome. The owner was very responsive and even after working all day long he was available to help me with an issue after my husband went back home. Would love to stay there again.

The house inside and out was very clean. The house was not advertised correctly. On the VRBO site, it states 3 Bathrooms when it only had 2 Bathrooms. With 5 Adults, it was very inconvenient. Our main concern, is that the front door code does not change from renter to renter. The house access code is in the House Info book. All renters have the same code.There were no closet rods in 2 bedrooms and made it difficult to hang our clothes.

Family Wedding in Wilmington

We were coming from Pennsylvania for a family wedding. We arrived a little early the day if our checkin. The owner allowed us to check in a little early which was great. We loved that the house has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. We have no complaints at all. We really enjoyed staying at this property and would strongly consider staying here again when visiting family in the area. We recommend this place to others!

My Vacation Stay.

The rental property was beautiful. The property owner was very nice helpful and respectful to our needs. Just had an issue with the house being cleaned and there were too many ants infestation and roaches infestation. It would have been a great vacation, but I couldn't enjoy myself because of that. -Ellen Love

Ellen I had addressed any concerns that you had promptly during your stay but you did not mention anything about this. Unfortunately due to it raining every single day in July this year ants and other pests are more active. I have Terminx service this property on a monthly basis and can have them come out for a respray anytime as per our contract. It could have been resolved promptly.

We found used wet towels hanging in one closet, we found a dirty sock under the love seat. When time to leave we were not able to do laundry for 2 reasons, 1 there was no laundry detergent. 2 there was a load of old wet stuff left in the washing machine. Other than those issues the house itself was okay. It was not as nice of a house as the house we stayed in last year when in Wilmington.

Arrived to a dirty house.

I rented the property for one night hosting multiple friends. Upon arriving at 3:45, past the check in time of 3:00, the house was dirty from the previous renters. Cleaners were sent to the property and we were unable to be in the house until 5:45. I was told the trip would be refunded for the inconvenience and have yet to receive further communication or compensation.

convenient location

The property was as pictured, just a bit older looking and the furniture has some stains. The beds were comfortable. There were cleaning products, trash bags, and laundry detergent available, which was a thoughtful touch. I emailed the owner with a question before we left and he got back to me very quickly. The property is located on a busy 2-lane road and car traffic could be heard from the front bedroom and living room, but it wasn't terrible. There's a very nice paved path within walking distance which is perfect for walking dogs or riding a bike. Also close by are plenty of restaurants, downtown Wilmington and shopping. Fort Fisher State Park is about 1/2 hour away. One thing that was very difficult was getting the sheets and towels washed before we left. That's a bit much to ask of people who have a very long drive back home. I would definitely recommend this property for a short stay or maybe even an extended stay.
