For a quick weekend trip it was fine. In one of bathrooms, the shower water would run all over the floor. So we didn’t use it which made things hectic with using one shower for our family. Overall the place was fine. The host reached out to us about an hour before check in time to let us know the house was ready and we could go ahead in which was very nice. We appreciated it after the 4 hour drive to the beach.

Pros: check-in process, location; quiet street with friendly neighbors, size of home, owner communication, comfortable beds..Cons: could be cleaner( cockroach under sofa in living room) wet towels left in dryer, better towels would’ve been nice (we had to buy ourown bath & kitchen towels), both showers are very slippery- dangerous for our 70 and 80 ladies, odor throughout home and it would’ve been nice to have some cleaner left on site for at least the bathrooms. Also, games and puzzles would be nice for down time.

Great Location, Could be Better

Home had an odd odor, floors weren’t as clean as I would have liked given we had 2 toddlers and dirty laundry left in washer. Owners did provide linens but not enough towels for 6ppl and they were so small they barely worked for adults. Home is in a great location and has a charming appeal but does need to work on removing some of the clutter within the home and overall cleanliness.

Backyard was not completely fenced in. There was trash in one closet, and dust balls on the floor. The coffee pot appeared not to have been cleaned in quite some time. The pots and pans had food residue as well as the plates. The towels were of poor quality and it would have been nice to have a nonslip bath mat in the front bathroom.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
During my stay when I arrived the weather was exceptionally colder than usual. This combined with several gaps around the doors and windows allowed cold air to enter. When I attempted to turn the heat up to 70 degrees, the “host “ would remotely turn it back down to 66 degrees. The host also would not answer any of my calls or return my calls. This was only resolved after I made two calls to Vrbo , and the host gave lots of invalid excuses. . Also it was listed as having a fenced yard, to leave a dog out. This was not the case, as there was only a back fence with no gates . Kitchen has very few items such as silverware, plates etc. Overall very poor experience, I would not recommend.

Perfect little getaway house

I arrived late at night to the house. It's in a very nice neighborhood right off of College Blvd. When I pulled up, a security light came on which I appreciated since i was by myself. I was greeted with a nice note and some snacks from the owner. The house was very clean. Has plenty of sitting so if you have guest over, no one will have to sit on top of each other. It is 3 bedrooms and two full baths. Each bathroom, especially the main, is handicapped accessible. This was nice for when my mom stayed. I did not have to worry about her getting into the showers. There are two ramps to the house, one for the front door and the back door. I did have to contact the owner a couple of times. Once late at night because I was tired and forgot the code (oops). He responded within a minute and helped me out. All in all, I would recommend this house to anyone staying in Wilmington. Its close to the airport and restaurants.
