Kitchen leads out to our patio that is set up for relaxing by our beautiful garden / grill area and the fire pit (we provide firewood & kindling) The back yard is fenced in for your small children & pups safety and we have recently added overhead lighting features to enhance the outdoor ambiance, highlight the charm of the garden area and offer the perfect setting for evening conversations and photo ops!

Great stay!

Our family had a fantastic time in this beautiful, cozy home! It was so nice to be just a few minutes’ drive from the beach, shopping, and anything else we needed. The backyard garden is a perfect place to sit in solitude with a cup of coffee early in the morning. We are already talking about planning our next stay!

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!

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!
