This property was so perfect for our weekend stay in Wilmington! We made use of the grill, the firepit, and the kayaks, and 10/10 would recommend all of those things! The location was a bit far from downtown, but very centrally located to explore the greater Cape Fear area. Awesome space and amenities for the price.

Perfect spot to visit with my mom. One floor, incredibly clean and comfortable, and one of the most nicely stocked kitchens I've ever seen in a rental house. Our oldest son is in college in Wilmington, and I like to spoil him by cooking a few meals when I'm in town. It was a breeze in this kitchen! I had everything I needed. Communication with owner was fast and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Ironman triathlon stay

We came to Wilmington for a triathlon and found this place. Close to race but away from the traffic. Was a hidden gem!!! Found out, after talking to locals, that our location in Monkey Junction, is a favorite spot!!! Not only was location amazing but our hosts had fast communication with us when we needed it!

Very nice and clean property. We loved everything about it and would definitely stay here again. There were only two things that surprised us. First, there was no coffee in the house, we had to go get our own Kcups for the Kurig which needed to be cleaned thoroughly, it had old brown water sitting in the reservoir. This surprised us because every place we’ve ever stayed has always had coffee available. Second, we ran out of Kleenex. There were only a couple left in the box when we arrived. Otherwise the place is perfect.

Amazing property, home away from home

We were so pleased with our stay here at Monkey Junction house. The owners went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The home is well taken care of and everything in perfect working order. We were in town for work and stayed for two months. It was the perfect neighborhood for us we had our little girl with us and everyone is so wonderful in the area. Close to Walmart, gas stations, about 10 minute drive to the beach or 10 minute drive to historical downtown Wilmington. Bring your bird feeders we loved watching the Cardinals and Blue Jays out the big window to back yard. Thank you to Kristen and Mike for going above and beyond. If we in the area in the future we would love to stay at Monkey Junction house.

Too dirty for our tastes

Looked like months of hair in the house, especially in the bathrooms. Even after we cleaned it, it came back. It may have been in the AC too. One of the bunk beds had a food wrapper and pieces of leaves in it although it was made. Food near the back door with ants on it. Had to clean the coffee maker before using it. The kitchen sink was dirty. The mats in both showers have mildew on them. The shower curtain in the master bath is nasty. The rug in the living room has stains in it. The chairs on the porch are dirty. The cleaning fee we paid seems wasted.

Avoid at all cost

We stayed at this property over Thanksgiving. We do not recommend this place: The couch has a strong odor, as well as the blankets provided to cover the couch. We had to go out and buy our own towels since the towels provided are so dirty they are gray (supposed to be white). We also saw that there is no difference between the bath towels and the dog towels so if you stay here definitely bring your own. The grass in the front and back yard is also very long and has not been mowed in sometime so makes it impossible for kids to play outside. We had an uneventful stay and end up leaving a day early. After our departure, the owners attempted to tell us that the highchair had a tear in it, and it was our responsibility. This like many fixtures in the house was very old, and it felt like they were attempting to get us to pay for items we hardly touched , let alone damaged. Please be aware that when booking this property, there is high likelihood that they will attempt to get you to pay for an old item in the house, claiming damage to old outdated items. If you do stay here make sure to take pictures or video of the whole house before and prior to your departure! We have stayed at multiple rentals over the years and if we had really damaged something we wouldn't have a problem paying for it. But it is completely unfair to try to make us responsible for something we didn't damage.
