We loved this space! We came to Wilmington to drop our daughter off at UNCW for her Sophomore year and the location was perfect! Only minutes away from the school. Everything was so clean and beautiful! The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for meal preparation. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck with coffee in the mornings because it felt so private and tranquil. The hosts were so kind and sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again!

The property is absolutely lovely and beautifully appointed. Louise made sure I had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable and I woke up to birds in the morning. The city walk trail is just a block away and was great for running and walking. It could not have been a nicer stay and I look forward to returning!

We booked last minute and the owner was so accommodating. The home is immaculately clean and beautiful. Every single detail of this home is so well thought out and planned.

This cottage was brand new and impeccable. Very nice furnishings and trim details. Everything was well thought out, and it had everything you need. Covered porch on the front was delightful at night. Also a separate uncovered porch off the bedroom. It is a lovely place to stay. Our communication with owner could not have been easier. Highly recommend if you like a place that is clean, comfortable and stylish.
