We felt like the property was great quality, the views were great and the nearby creek was nice to hear. My only issue was driving about a mile to put our trash in the dumpster, but it makes sense considering the road up to the property. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent views and peacefulness.

Cute house

This house is so cute and the neighbors around the house were sweet and friendly. The Blue Door is the perfect location between downtown and Kure Beach. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the ice maker was wonderful! The owner responds quickly to questions and concerns.

Cute place!

My friend and I stayed at this property for a girls trip. It was very cute and clean. Communication was excellent. Checking in and checking out was super easy. Uber and Lyft were easily accessible to get us to and from downtown. Cassondra was very accommodating and was kind enough to allow us to check out late as my friend had a late afternoon flight. We would stay here again.

Clean, Comfortable, Cozy

This house was ideal for my Family to visit our college student and prepare her some home cooked meals and do laundry. The neighborhood aesthetics were lacking, but we experienced zero problems with the neighborhood. We only saw one neighbor and she was very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back and stay in Cossandra’s home again.

Great House

Very cute house. We had 5 in our group and it worked perfectly. My husband and I stayed in the king bed upstairs, one daughter in the queen and the other daughter and her friend in the twin beds room. Everything was very clean besides the ice maker needed a little love and same with the backyard but besides that it was perfect. The neighborhood is okay. Thank you Cassandra for great communication through check in to check out!

Family trip

The host was available at all times with any questions we had. The location of the house was close to downtown Wilmington, which was convenient, however we didn’t feel the safest at times…the street the house is on was fine, but the surrounding streets had some shady people around…riding quads up and down the street and loitering around in front of their homes. They left us alone and nobody bothered us so it wasn’t that big of a deal. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay!
