Spring break 2025

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at this property. The photos did not truly show the beauty of the property. The patio and rose bushes are stunning. I enjoyed coffee on the patio every morning and we ate dinnner on the patio most evenings. Little things made this stay special. There were plenty of towels and wash clothes as well as blankets and pillows. The neighborhood was quiet yet close to places to eat or even have food delivered. Heather was an attentive host. Many thanks Heather.

Nice stay

This home met all of our needs. It was well stocked. We really enjoyed the backyard. When we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house, help was there in minutes to get us in. The home is centrally located and just a quick drive to Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.

Short beach trip

The house was just what we needed for a short beach vacation, short drive to beach, medium drive to downtown but having the fenced back yard is a life saver when you have 3 dogs, it’s also nice that there wasn’t a 2 dog limit that so many other places have…we will for sure rent here again next time we are in Wilmington!!

Great host & great place for dogs

This house is exactly as advertised and then some. It is in a great location and I cannot say enough about how much my two dogs (pug and lab mix) loved the backyard. I was also there during the "epic snow storm" that hit Wilmington and the host and owners were on top of it and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed despite the unexpected winter weather and being snowed in! Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

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!

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.

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!

This was our first time in the area and we loved the location of this house.

Another Amazing Stay!

This is the second time I have stayed at this wonderful property. Stayed with my two miniature Dachshunds for a couple weeks. The entire house was again pristine. The backyard is fenced, spacious, and beautifully appointed. The patio is great for breakfast outside and enjoying quiet time for reading and soaking up sunshine. The light string arrangement is awesome at night. The neighborhood is very low key and safe - all families and very quiet with some nice walking routes available. Kitchen has all the necessities, all quite new as well as the new washer and dryer. The host was extremely helpful from booking through departure- always had a very prompt and helpful response for my questions. Cannot recommend this property highly enough!
