Loved the little touches and the private pool. Very quiet street yet convenient to downtown and Wrightsville Beach. Rachel was an exceptionally responsive host.
Nice location and neighborhood. The dog enjoyed the walks around the block. Pool was a nice addition especially on Monday when we finally had some sustained sunshine.
The house had everything that we needed, it was clean and very comfortable. The owner was courteous and made sure to clean the pool and take care of anything we needed.
We loved our stay here. The fenced-in yard was perfect for us traveling with dogs, and the heated pool was a mini-paradise. Even on cloudy days the pool was wonderful. We REALLY appreciated that we could bring 3 dogs, while most dog-friendly places only allow 1 or 2. There are tons of food options within 5-10 minutes. We had planned to go to Wrightsville Beach, but enjoyed the pool & yard so much, we never went to the beach.
Nice little house near Downtown, River Walk and Beaches.Pool was wonderful and very private. House had everything we needed. Many beautiful trees surrounding the property. No complaints, we loved our stay and would stay again.
Perfect home stay for our family of 4 and dog. Well equipped kitchen, ample linens, eclectic and cozy decor. Home was in a safe neighborhood on a quiet street, convenient to the many places in the Wilmington area we visited. The highlight was the pool - clean, heated, and partially shaded with lots of places to sit and lounge. Host was responsive and kind, and cleaned the pool halfway through the week. If we come back to Wilmington, we would definitely stay here again.
This was a great little property for our short visit. The back yard/pool/hot-tub were very well kept. We cooked a lot while we were there, and found a lack of pots/pans and no dishwasher even though the rental checkout procedure states to place all used dishes in the dishwasher and run it. Also, pool instructions would have been helpful in the instructions, but we met the owner while there and he filled us in. A great house…however the shower did not work. We had the beautiful tub, so all was well. We would come again…
I loved this property! Having a private pool was so nice to return to after a long day exploring. The property is clean, neighborhood is quiet, and the property manager and owner are very responsive. Would stay again!
We really enjoyed this house. It was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was awesome, it was our favorite thing. Thanks for having us, we hope to book soon again
Great little house for my husband and I and our little dog. Had to come to Wilmington for a few days and booked this place because of the pool and it did not disappoint. The house was clean, beds comfortable, adequate kitchen and a/c was nice and cool. The pool was perfect for the June heat. Would definitely come back
Hurricane Helene forced us to cancel our planned anniversary trip and make a last minute decision to go to Wilmington. I'm so glad we found this gem of a property.
This is a clean, well-loved and cared for hole
we loved the pool and being able to bring our dogs. We will be back! lhome.Everyproperty.
The pool is worth this booking. My family loved it and most of our time was spent in it. The home itself needs some updates but I would recommend and would book again if in the area.
We were looking for a little getaway with our pups. This was the BEST.ever! A very quiet neighborhood, tucked away, yet close to stores and downtown Wilmington. The cottage was immaculate! The backyard pool was absolutely magical! We spent most of our time just sitting outside listening to the birds and circadas and crickets in the evening. LOVED the clean pool, it was so refreshing on the hot days! It had everything we needed! Will definitely return!
Huge Magnolia that we needed to skim the pool daily. Dishes required hand washing because there is not a dishwasher. Wall Switches were missing knobs and we were afraid to touch them so we used hand towels. There is a garden hose on the right side of the house to remove any sand before going in the house. I suggested adding the key to the yard door to go at the back of the house were there is a shower right at the door.
Stay reminded me of my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.’
- The Good: The home was beautiful, inside and out. We loved the rustic feel and warmth of the home. All appliances, except the dryer, seemed to work well.
- The Bad: At check in time, the cleaners/repairmen were still working – we never got a call. After checking in, we went to throw some trash away and the trash bin was completely full. House rules said the trash would be picked up on Mon…we arrived on Friday. The dryer was subpar – took multiple cycles to dry.
- The Ugly: Ants & intrusive neighbor. Literally, within 1 hr of arriving, the ants had taken over. Everything on the counter in the kitchen was attacked – had to throw away several items. They were present in every room except the living room. However, the absolute worst part of the stay was an intrusive neighbor. Keep in mind, we are two couples in our 60s. On Sunday, we were relaxing at the pool while playing some country music from a $16 Dollar General am/fm radio…this thing could barely be heard at the end of the pool. I received a text from the owner about 3 pm who said a neighbor was complaining of noise. After getting text, we shut off the music & came inside. This same intrusive neighbor had also cowardly taped a letter to the front door that read, “The people in this neighborhood like it QUIET. Why don’t you all try to just swim and lounge by pool while listening to Mother Nature.”
We won't be back!!
My family had an amazing stay at this house. It was the perfect size for our family of 3 plus the pool was amazing, clean and beautiful!!! Couldn’t ask for a better place. We will definitely stay again if we come back to Wilmington.
This is a Sweet Bungalow with all the amenities you need on a daily basis.We booked it mainly because I love to swim! The heated pool was a Heavenly Oasis!
