Cute house

This house is so cute and the neighbors around the house were sweet and friendly. The Blue Door is the perfect location between downtown and Kure Beach. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the ice maker was wonderful! The owner responds quickly to questions and concerns.

Cute place!

My friend and I stayed at this property for a girls trip. It was very cute and clean. Communication was excellent. Checking in and checking out was super easy. Uber and Lyft were easily accessible to get us to and from downtown. Cassondra was very accommodating and was kind enough to allow us to check out late as my friend had a late afternoon flight. We would stay here again.

Clean, Comfortable, Cozy

This house was ideal for my Family to visit our college student and prepare her some home cooked meals and do laundry. The neighborhood aesthetics were lacking, but we experienced zero problems with the neighborhood. We only saw one neighbor and she was very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back and stay in Cossandra’s home again.

Family trip

The host was available at all times with any questions we had. The location of the house was close to downtown Wilmington, which was convenient, however we didn’t feel the safest at times…the street the house is on was fine, but the surrounding streets had some shady people around…riding quads up and down the street and loitering around in front of their homes. They left us alone and nobody bothered us so it wasn’t that big of a deal. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay!

Great House

Very cute house. We had 5 in our group and it worked perfectly. My husband and I stayed in the king bed upstairs, one daughter in the queen and the other daughter and her friend in the twin beds room. Everything was very clean besides the ice maker needed a little love and same with the backyard but besides that it was perfect. The neighborhood is okay. Thank you Cassandra for great communication through check in to check out!

Wonderful and Adorable

Everything was perfect and seamless, from the questions I had asked before booking that were answered quickly by Cassondra. The house is adorable - everything that could be thought of to make the stay comfortable and easy is. Little details, like cute dark towels for makeup removal, really add to the experience. Very clean and spacious - beds were super comfortable, bathrooms were a good size, and even though it's not the largest house, it easily fit 5 of us comfortably, 6 would have been fine too! Cassondra communicated with me throughout our stay too, which I really appreciated. Easy check out process as well. Overall, one of the best Vrbo's I've stayed at, and will definitely be visiting again!
