The house was good and fit the needs for what we needed for but it was definitely different. Can tell it was originally an older house. I would strongly suggest the owner consider a different ladder for the bunk bed. I would also not staying with a child that you can’t lift up into a high bunk bed if you’re needing a 3 bed.

Cozy little older home with shabby chic, eclectic accents. Pet friendly, but no big yard for dogs. Bring a pet gate, because the backyard gate doesn't have a latch to keep dogs in. Not a neighborhood we felt safe to walk around in, but it was quiet. Close to downtown and only a few miles from the beach.

Great little place to stay during our visit. Hosts provided everything we could have thought about needing! We loved the eclectic design and the efficient use of space. The outdoor space looked like a great place to hang out! We were here during a rainy period but on another trip I am looking forward to hanging out with my book on the back porch.

Great place near downtown Wilmington!

I stayed here for the entire month of July 2025 and had friends dropping in throughout the month. I really liked staying here. The kitchen is very small, but it has every gadget you could possibly need, including a burr mill coffee grinder, an espresso machine and full-sized washer and dryer. It only took about five minutes to get from here to the Riverwalk and about a half hour to the beaches. The back porch and the privacy fenced backyard were very pleasant and I liked being able to park on the grounds next to the backyard, The owner Bryan, was very helpful and responsive. The only reason I didn’t give five stars for this cottage is that the guest bedroom has a bunkbed with a rope ladder. That did not work for my friends, who are older and not able to climb up there.

Great place for a weekend getaway.

Location location location...We (2 people) were in Wilmington for an event at the Battleship. It was very convenient and less than a 10 minute drive. On Saturday we went to the waterfront to walk around/shop/visit breweries and distillery...it was a five minute drive. We also visited some other areas around Wilmington and the drive was never very long (all less than 10 minutes). The house is older and small, but clean and well stocked kitchen; multiple TVs; great side porch for enjoying the afternoon and evenings; there were games and things but we didn't really use them...but they were there. I did need to contact the owner (no big deal) and received a response within 30 minutes. We hope it will be available for us next year.

Visir Wilmington

I chose the residence because it was within walking distance. Of wilmington. I didn't realize how much pavement and how much it would hurt my feet. I thought the unit would also have a d v d player, but it did not. I also was very confused about how to get the volume to work on the television, and I had to call the owner. I was also a little disappointed that every time you turn on the t, v, you have to get up, walk over to the bows speaker and turn the volume up. The volume did not stay up on its own. I was also very disappointed in the amount of noise there was around the unit. There was construction going on across the street and trees were being planted out front. The next door neighbor was weed whacking, and there was constant disturbance around the property. I would recommend to the owner to put the outdoor lights on and on off.Switch or have the ability to turn them off. I went to bed early one night before nine p m.And the outdoor light stayed on. I enjoyed staying in the residents.

House was gross/Street was sketch

First of all, there was a dried-up, old chicken wing just sitting on the couch. (ew!) There was a mysterious white liquid dried up on the couch as well. The floors were disgusting. (unswept) We had to make our own beds. W triple decker bunk bed, but the third level was unusable. There was an old water bottle on the bunk bed as well. Very obvious housekeeping didn't come to the house in between stays. We requested early check-in at 12, so we arrived at the house at noon. He texted me at 4 pm and said the "House was ready" and "housekeeping couldn't make my bed". Housekeeping never came in general and he clearly forgot about our request for early check-in. The water in the bathroom with a shower was brown, safe to say we didn't shower for a weekend. (water pressure was terrible) In the bathroom with the toilet, it constantly smelt of feces. (even before we used it.) No driveway, the street was sketchy, neighbors would scream, and the road was undrivable.
