Great place for a couple! Bed was so comfortable, and place was spotless. We were in town for a wedding and it was perfectly located to local restaurants, the city, and the beach.

Cute place. Love the privacy and the ease of access. Hosts very responsive. Two minor issues: there’s a gap in the front door weatherstripping, so bugs can sometimes get in, and the tap seemingly has well water that smells a little sulfurous (which is weird since it’s a city of Wilmington property)

Property looks just as listed. Clean rooms, comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, helpful to have laundry available. Great little coffee shop & eatery "It's Coffee Time" on Wrightsville Ave, just a short stroll from the Hideaway if no time to make your own at the property. Very easy to get to downtown Wilmington or the lovely Wrightsville Beach.
