Graduation Weekend
Adorable cottage was perfect for our group of 6 (3 couples). Extremely clean and had so many personal touches like a snack basket, Bath and Body Works shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, make-up remover cloths, detergent pods, and k-cups, to mention a few. Two of the 3 beds were low to the ground, and would be difficult for elderly persons to get in and out of. The one bathroom was recently remodeled to become handicap accessible. The tub was replaced with a large corner shower with a bench...very nice. My only complaint was an unannounced visitor in the back locked supply room during the first night from 2 am - 4 am. What they were doing at that hour, who knows, but, there most definitely was a person in the room (light was on and we could hear them even though they were trying to be quiet). The owner denied anyone being in there. Very suspicious. Other than that, the stay was great!

Great little bungalow with lots of charm in a quiet neighborhood near a good variety of restaurants and shops. It's obvious the property has been cared for with love! My writer friend and I will certainly want to do a get away here again! It helped us with our writer projects. Thanks a million!

We loved the cozy cottage. Our stay was comfortable and we were in a very convenient location. Owners left snacks, waters, and lots of little things for us that we may have forgotten like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and makeup wipes.

Very relaxing and heartwarming.
Our stay at this Wilmington getaway property was really a wonderful experience. The rental was nicely appointed and everything was provided. The coffee station was well received and the availability of television entertainment was quite welcome. There was even a sound bar to go with the Kitchen television. There was a very nice game table in the front room which we made fun use of. Stay here - you'll be glad you did!

Great place to stay in Wilmington.
The house was in a lovely residential neighborhood with beautiful azaleas in the front and a very nice swing on the front porch. The AC/heating unit worked very well and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy your family time together.

Although it is an older house, The AC/heating unit worked very well and the remodeled kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our family time together. All amenities were very thoughtful and we would recommend this VRBO highly. My only slight dissatisfaction was that two of the three king-size beds did not have good mattresses.

Great House
We were in town from Pittsburgh to move my daughter down to Wilmington for college and visit my son that lives 45 mins North Our stay was so comfortable thanks to this little house. It has all the charm of an older house with updates in all the right places. The owner thought of all the little details. Everything you need is there. The house is clean and has plenty of room for a big family. The neighborhood might be less than perfect, but it was quite and we had no issues. It was close to shopping and food as well as campus and campus housing. I would definitely recommend.

This was a wonderful location for our framily group for New Year getaway! Having 3 king beds was THE best! Beds were very comfortable. So much space! TVs in almost every room! Kitchen fully equipped. Loved how easy check in and check out was! I would most certainly stay here again! WiFi worked great. Easy Uber to River front area! Walkable to a coffee shop (.4 miles).

Thanksgiving visit with aunts and cousins
Cozy one level cottage made it easy on our hips and knees. The kitchen had all the things we needed to do our cooking. Nicely decorated. It had nice touches like toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, laundry detergent flings, etc. The only thing I could possibly think it needed was a hand rail at steps.

Just what we needed! Great place for a short family trip for our sons soccer game. Many items that I believe would be up charges most places like snacks, k cups, and toiletries! Offered a late checkout of an hours time to make sure the Sunday Brunch crowd time did not make us feel rushed! Will keep on the radar for future travel to the area!

Perfect getaway close to downtown historic Wilmington.
The property was a perfect place to unwind during my stay in town while filming a tv show. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook at the home. Loved a stocked coffee set up. The entire property was very clean and comfortable. Neighborhood was safe and quiet. Adored the front porch for relaxing on and the beds were very comfy. Slept like a dream. Would definitely recommend this as a nice get away spot. Only took less than 10 minutes to get down to the riverwalk. Owner was available if we needed anything during our stay which was appreciated.
