Best location!

Our group loved staying here! The location was perfect walking distance to the beach and right beside the pier. We could walk to get food at many different restaurants as well which is perfect with the limited parking options along the beach side. The hosts were amazing and very hospitable! 10/10 would recommend for any large group or family!

This was a great place for two families to get together for a weekend getaway. Was convent to Johnny Mercer Pier and start of the Wilmington full/half marathon. Also easy to get into Wilmington. Had variety of games and toys for children in the house, along with beach chairs, toys and a wagon. Would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect off water location

Not only is this an easy walk to restaurants and shops; but the most perfect off water location. zero streets to cross and just minutes to the public beach access. Garage storage is perfect for storing beach toys for your stay. All of the rooms were spacious for everyone to have some private time or gather together. We would certainly choose this place again and again.

Relaxing getaway

We had the most relaxing stay in this beautiful home. Check in/out was so easy. The proximity to the beach was perfect for our young children. The details throughout the house were thoughtful and helpful; things like a few laundry pods and a drying rack made laundry a breeze. The beds were comfortable and our kids loved the bunk room. The outdoor shower and hose are shaded and perfect for cleaning up after the beach.

We had a wonderful stay! The location was fantastic, just a 2-minute walk to the beach, and the layout provided plenty of space for our family to spread out and relax without feeling on top of each other.We had our little ones sleep in the third-floor loft, which worked out perfectly. The separation from the main living area allowed the rest of us to enjoy the evenings downstairs without worrying about noise.I reached out to the hosts a couple of times to make them aware of a few minor issues. I wasn't expecting any action during our stay, but they responded almost immediately each time addressing the issues. I've rarely experienced such quick, attentive communication from hosts. They were wonderful!We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend this property to others. We'd gladly stay here again!

Very comfortable and modern 3 story house with lots of space, nicely furnished, with nice amenities for families. We loved having the parking spaces and the easy walk to the beach, plus plenty of beach chairs and a wagon to cart everything. Wish we had longer to stay. Also, Josh is a dream of a host ... promptly answered questions and was extremely nice throughout the process. We'd love to come back every year!

Amazing location, great place

The rental was beautiful and we wanted for nothing. Everything we needed was in the house. Seven of us enjoyed a week at the beach and had plenty of room to spread out at the house throughout our stay. Being only one block from the sand was awesome! Josh was very accommodating, flexible and responsive. The balconies were great to hang out on in the mornings and evenings. The mattress in the master bedroom is top notch. Don’t think about it, just book this property.

Pictures do not do this property justice!! The property is much larger and so much more charming than the pictures show. You can tell that the owners have just made many updates to the property and put a lot of care into the decorating and provided resources. The location is amazing! It's only a 1 minute walk to the ocean, 2-3 minutes walking to Johnny Mercer's Pier, restaurants, and bars. The owners were extremely open and friendly to communicate with regarding any questions we had.
