Overall Fine Stay

Were told we could check in early so we showed up right at 11:20am when we were told we could check in at 11:30. We attempted to check in at 11:21 and the code didn’t work. This was followed by a text from the host saying we couldn’t check in early anymore. Completely unacceptable as we drove 2 1/2 hours to be there early and were given 0 notice of this. The whole place smelt of a mixture of old cigarettes, gasoline, and strong cleaner. Besides the smell, everything was very clean, beds were super comfortable, and location was fine.

Great place

Appreciate Holly and Drew allowing us early access on short notice. Looking forward to using firepit area next time (weather didn’t cooperate). Was great to be able to walk to dinner after a long day of moving our daughter out of her dorm. Close to UNCW and Wrightsville. Will definitely book again

Perfect location to everything!

We had a great stay at this property for my cousins wedding downtown. The location was close to everything. Holly was very responsive, and easy to communicate with. The beds were super comfortable, and there was a nice basket in the upstairs bathroom that came in handy. My only suggestions would be to get a new front door knob and there was a musty smell through the apartment that was not pleasant. We bought a candle to try to help it. Overall we enjoyed our first stay in Wilmington!

Very Satisfied

The rental was exactly as described. The owner communicated promptly. The rental was fully stocked with extra nice touches that provided everything needed and then some. The townhome was very clean and comfortable, and was a central location for restaurants, downtown, and beaches while maintaining a quiet community to relax. We look forward to our next stay.

Amazing place in an amazing location!

This townhouse is outstanding. It has everything you could possibly need, and if you find you do need something you are in the heart of a shopping district. Our host, Holly, was helpful and kind. I will stay here each time we come to visit family. I highly recommend it! It may be a new listing, but I promise it is phenomenal!!
