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.

Such a cute house. Exactly like the pictures and as described. The appliances were all great especially the washer /dryer. Beds were comfy with nice linens. Very clean. Easy parking right in the front. Overall quiet location. Host was extremely responsive and kind. I like that there was not a long list of “no’s” posted all over like some rentals. Made our week long stay feel like home.

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!

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.

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!

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!
