Wedding Vacation

My daughter had her wedding April 26, 2025. I found this rental on Vrbo and I am so happy with the property. It was exactly as described. The host was quick to text and everything went smoothly. I was worried about cost before finding this rental, but this place checked all the boxes but a beach view, but I knew that when I booked it because the description was so accurate. Clean and spacious and comfortable. I’m so happy with my stay. Before leaving I went thru the house room by room just to show my gratitude to make sure I left it clean. Great stay and great property!

Even Better Than Expected

Although the reviews and ratings for this property were immaculate, I couldn't have expected how perfectly it would accommodate our group. We traveled with three small family units, each with at least one small child, and found the place to have everything we could have wanted and needed, and more. Each bedroom having an adjoining bathroom is a huge plus. Everything was clean, and we found this property to be more reasonably priced than others like it in the area. Every member of our party--kids included--loved it. Highest recommendation.

Southern wedding

The townhouse was perfect for our stay and close to the venue making it perfect for our group. Each bedroom had an en suite so everyone had a private bath. The kitchen was large and well equipped. We all loved the Flamingo theme from the minute we walked up to the front door. Close to the beach, close to the wedding Venue at Wrightsville Beach Manor. Easy to get to historic downtown Wilmington and close to restaurants and shopping. It was perfect.

Home away from home

We had a terrific stay. The place was bigger in person than I expected. We had so much room. It was comfortable and clean and everything we needed for a wedding weekend and more. The proximity to the beach was great, I had to drive back and fourth several times because of the wedding planning, it was a very easy and fast drive. We would stay here again if we ever came back to the area.

Great place

Had everything we needed-we had a wedding in Arlie gardens which we walked to! We took our bikes to the beach…one warning… there is not a bike path to the beach, but it is only 2 miles. The bikes are not in the best condition (my chain fell off and it didn’t shift well). I totally enjoyed having 3 full bathrooms!!

Whimsical condo in convenient location

Fun, whimsical condo close to Wrightsville Beach, UNCW, and downtown. It was very well equipped with all the essentials and a bonus of two bikes! We stayed here for a long weekend for dorm move out at UNCW and the condo was convenient to campus, the beach, and downtown. Neighborhood was quiet and safe.

Family Staycation

We stayed at this property with our out-of-state family due to our home being under construction. The property was in an excellent location - close to restaurants, shopping, beach, etc. Two beds upstairs, each with full baths and 1 down with full bath as well, made it quick to get a group of 6 ready. The townhouse was spotless and had every kitchen item we needed to feed two hungry boys. The owner was very accommodating and responsive to needs and questions! We will definitely use this townhouse again for out-of-town visitors or just a great getaway! Highly recommend!
