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) ##### Craig R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francine H. 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ##### Francine H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey F. 1 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So much fun My daughter and I took a weekend girls trip and had a blast!!
