Sweet Escape is 3 miles to Wrightsville Beach & 8 miles to Downtown Riverfront~

Welcome to The Sweet Escape~
Upon arrival to The Sweet Escape you will find a fun snack basket in the kitchen & bottled water in the fridge. You can also brew a cup of coffee with all the extras in case you need a pick me up!
If you need a quick nap, there are three comfortable beds (already made) with 100% high thread count, cotton sheets. You will find this on a very safe cul de sac in a quiet, wide street, low traffic neighborhood perfect for your morning walks~
The Sweet Escape is less than ten minutes from UNCW & fifteen minutes from Wilmington's Historic Downtown Riverfront. You can also walk just five minutes away to a coffee shop / restaurant & only a ten minute walk to Mayfair. Mayfair is Wilmington’s Premier Lifestyle Shopping Center that offers over 80 stores and 20 restaurants.
We have three bedrooms, featuring three very comfortable beds ~ One king & 2 queen beds. We have one full bathroom & a half bathroom. Our living room features a 65 inch smart TV along with a new leather sofa and swivel chair. We also have a step down den set up with new sofa, two chairs and a desk / chair duo. We also have a 43 inch smart TV in the den. There’s a pocket door that can keep the kids video sound out from the other room!
We offer a fully equipped kitchen with all large and small appliances. If you have any particular specialty item for the kitchen that you may need, please inquire and I'll make sure to have it for you. Kitchen leads out to our patio that is set up for relaxing by our beautiful garden / grill area and the fire pit (we provide firewood & kindling) The back yard is fenced in for your small children & pups safety and we have recently added overhead lighting features to enhance the outdoor ambiance, highlight the charm of the garden area and offer the perfect setting for evening conversations and photo ops! There is plentiful parking with room for an RV, boat & trailer (Municipal boat ramp is just under 3 miles away).
We take pride in our home and ensure that it's cleaned & sanitized properly for your stay.
Thank you so much considering The Sweet Escape.

Great Place!
Our family stayed at this place for 3 nights during September. It was very clean, beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was very safe and nice. There was a nice trail to walk our dog and the location was close to a beautiful shopping center and the beach. Our family stated that they would definitely stay there again.

Perfect for a family stay that includes the dog
The property is in a good location with easy access to Mayfaire shopping and Wrightsville Beach. The neighborhood was quiet. It’s an older home but very clean and has everything you need. The fenced in yard is a very nice feature if you have a dog. The fence is about waist high so you will likely need to supervise your pet while they are outside.

Adorable House in a Great Location!
Oh my goodness, this was the perfect house for our visit to Wilmington! It was just as described, though the pictures don't do it justice. It had a quaint beach cottage feel, and we enjoyed sitting in the back courtyard in the evenings. This home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and downtown! Heather was the perfect host! She quickly responded to our inquiries, and was always very pleasant. We will definitely stay again!

Clean, comfortable - Great Break
This was our first time in the area and we loved the location of this house. Close to beaches and everything else we needed (walking distance to Mayfaire Mall and just a few minutes drive to local beaches). The house was very clean and comfortable- everything we needed. The house and garden are very private. Really enjoyed our time in Wilmington and would definitely stay here again.

Great cozy home!
We needed a pet friendly house close to our son’s apartment. This house was perfect! Back yard was fenced in and pretty decor throughout. Pillows were really comfy! Host was very prompt to answering questions. Only minor issue was large dogs next door barked every time we were outside. Thank you for a great stay we will be back!

Great property
This is our 2nd year staying here. We love the properties’ amenities, cleanliness, and location. The host is very responsive. I locked us out of the house on a hot summer day with groceries in the car. The owner, who lives close by, was there in minutes to unlock the door.
