When we first got there I was a bit concerned as it is in a bit of a tough neighborhood, but it proved not to be an issue. Short walk to historic district and downtown. Place itself is fantastic! Host was fantastic!

Wonderful vacation rental. The house had everything we needed for a nice, relaxing vacation. Michael was a great host. He provided suggestions of places to see while in Wilmington and was able to accommodate our request for an earlier check-in. We would definitely look to stay again if we return to the area.

Lee, I am devastated that you had a four star (8/10) experience. There wasnt any communication of discrepancies in a private message, or when I checked in with y'all halfway through your stay. I am so sorry if I missed something. I definitely take feedback from guests to heart, so if there is something that I missed or can fix for the future guests please let me know and I will definitely address it going forward. It is important to me to make sure each guest receives a five star (10/10) experience and enjoys my home as their home away from home. I wish you the best and I hope to host y'all again soon 😊.

We stayed at this property for one month and thoroughly enjoyed the home and Wilmington. Michael was the best host that I’ve ever had…he communicated with me in advance of our stay and offered many suggestions of things to do in the area, he accommodated an early check in, and he checked in with me several times during our stay to ensure everything met our expectations. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed for a one month stay. The location was perfect for us given proximity to downtown and other neighborhoods. We will definitely return!

We had such a great stay here! The location is perfect, it’s close by to so many spots both walking and driving distance. The house was really clean and had everything we needed. The backyard fire pit was such a great plus! Perfect way to end our nights. The host was by far the best host we have had, he was so kind and had great recommendations! He was also checking in on us throughout our stay. Definitely recommend staying here!

My business partner and I stayed at Urban Oasis while in Wilmington for a conference. Our host was very flexible and accommodated an earlier check-in for us to sit on the back porch and work. He was vey thoughtful and even made recommendations of where to eat before arriving. We loved the atmosphere of the home and convenience of location. I hope to stay here again next time I am in town.

This house was perfect for me and my husband, our dachshund and our golden retriever. The location was super close to all the things, and the house was one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in lately. The house was clean, comfortable, open and dog friendly. The master bedroom and bath was awesome, and the other bedroom and bath we didn’t use, but would have been great if we were traveling with friends. The house had everything you need, and the patio was truly amazing. I would stay here again for sure. Michael was a communicative and very pleasant host. Truly one of the best rental experiences we’ve had in a long time.

Our host Michael was wonderful and accommodating! I have never had a host call before and let me know our home was ready and anything we needed, let him know. He was responsive and appreciative of feedback as well. The place was clean and lovely with all the amenities inside and out! A nice touch of having charging cables near the beds and couches was appreciated as well as live greenery. Would definitely stay again.

Overall a good place and comfortable stay. The property manager was very friendly and responsive. The property was comfortable and located in a central area (in the midst of gentrification). The only negative was the floor needed to be cleaned.

Nicole, I'm truly sad that you only had a four star experience. I strive to make sure that each guest has the best experience as possible. I'm not sure how the floors got dirty before you arrived. A video of the entire property is recorded before each guest checks in. In the video, I can see that the floor is still wet from being cleaned. I wish that you told me that the floors were dirty when I asked if everything was meeting y'all's expectations; I would have loved to correct it if I had the chance.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Daugherty

Host profile image
I absolutely love Wilmington which is why I became a host on VRBO. I enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge with those visiting the area for the first time or with those that have been to Wilmington before.

I enjoy boating, running, camping, reading, going to coffee shops and going to craft cocktail bars.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is developing and growing which is nice to see. This is my home full time but rent it out when I travel, so I know the area well and would love to give any advice on places to explore downtown or in the general Wilmington area!

What makes this property unique

The backyard of my home creates a unique tranquil oasis in the heart of downtown Wilmington. During the spring time there are fruits available from the trees.
