Great stay!
Located in a nice, safe neighborhood. The home was very clean, beds comfortable, shower pressure and water temperature perfect. Plenty of towels, washcloths and blankets. Gina was a pleasure to deal with! Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Cozy and clean
The owners have so many thoughtful things tucked throughout the home to make your stay pleasant. From plug in scents to fluffy bathrobes, we were impressed with their attention to details. We were happy to find this rental in small town Wilmington and will be returning.
