We had a great stay at this Wilmington rental. The space was spotless and well furnished; with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was very convenient—just a short walk to downtown and a short drive to the Wrightsville Beach and many other attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even more seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient home base in Wilmington.

We had an exceptional stay at this beautiful house in Wilmington!

UNCW Orientation

This home is beautiful and cozy! It’s so nicely set up. We were looking for a place not too far from campus. There are lots of good restaurant choices nearby. We just wished we could have stayed a little longer.

Great location and even better house

This house has been completely redone recently and it’s a beautiful property. The location is perfect and it’s about a mile to the river walk with a brewery 2 blocks up from here. We will probably stay here again and highly recommend!

Great little house!

We stayed here to attend a concert at the amphitheater. Unfortunately our concert was cancelled but we decided to go to Wilmington anyway to get away for the weekend. The house is clean and totally modern and within walking distance of great restaurants and breweries. It’s also a short drive to the riverfront. The host, Scott, was wonderful and all his instructions were clear and simple. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location and stay!

Our stay at Scott’s place in the Soda Pop District was excellent! The house was perfect — comfortable and dog friendly. The fenced-in backyard was a huge plus! The location was also great. We walked 2 blocks to Hiwire brewery and we also went to the Ibis (which we highly recommend!). And we were only a short drive from the riverfront district (less than 5 minutes). 10/10 recommend!

Perfect for Our Evacuation Respite

We were 110% satisfied with this stay. As we plotted our unanticipated evacuation from Hurricane Milton, already weary from Helene we sought peace and safety. Our stay here in Wilmington was perfect. This home is immaculate with all the amenities and thoughtful snacks! An easy walk downtown, local brewery and awesome pizza place and a safe back yard for fur babies. We were able to visit with our daughter from Camp Lejeune and returned home to uncertainty but rested. Thank you!

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful time at Scott’s home. It has been completely redone and no detail was left out.. Everything was well stocked. Perfect sized fenced backyard for taking your dog on vacation. The beds were so comfortable And the shower in the master was amazing. The whole master suite was designed extremely well. Although most of our time was spent in the kitchen Communication with Scott was always within minutes Would definitely stay here again

Ironman Weekend must!

I agree with all of the previous 5* reviews and would like to add this comment specifically for families participating in the Ironman events. The location was perfect as an athlete and spectator. My pup was super happy to have space outside to roam. We do our own pre-race cooking and need to eat at weird times so restaurants and hotels don’t suffice. We were ONE mile to the finish line! Do not hesitate to stay here. Book as soon as you sign up for the race. You will not be disappointed with the cleanliness, comfort, location and of course the lovely hosts that were super responsive.
