Richard was a wonderful host and very responsive. He met us upon arrival and showed us around. The cottage was clean and well stocked. It is located in a residential area but it is only 15-20 minutes from them beach (depending on traffic) and a similar distance from downtown wilmington. A big thumbs up!

Richard and Faye were phenomenal! The hospitality was out of this world! They provided us a tour of the cottage, explained expectations regarding the property, as well as leg us know where we could walk put 2 month old puppy. This was an EXTREMELY great experience. This is my second time staying at and an air b and b and my partners first time, it was a great experience. The cottage was located on their property, the owners gave us pir privacy while checking in periodically. We DEFINITELY will stay again!

Richard and Faith have a beautiful little hideaway. Everything you could possibly want is here. They are gracious hosts even waiting up late when you're plane gets delayed 5 hours! Many little kind extras that you would not expect but are so happy to have when you visit this property. It feels more like they have given a little piece of their home to their guests. Even at the late hour, after traveling so long, we got a personal tour to make sure we were comfortable and even a hug to welcome us to Wilmington.

Richatd was very detailed about everything when checking in and even had muffins waiting for us,we were traveling woth our boxer and standard poodle so we loved there was a park within walking distance, and it is pretty close to downtown wilmington and local beaches. Pwrfect for a weekend getaway in wilmington if you have dogs and dont care about staying right on a beach
