The beds were incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotless. The downstairs living room and kitchen area were just right for my husband and our three kids. It made for a wonderful weekend Downtown Wilmington. ##### Kacie B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Scott O. 12 May 2024 Liked: Listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice house but very unsafe and dirty We were excited to come to our daughter's graduation at UNCW and stay at the house. While the house served our needs well, and the great room and porch were fantastic, there were many problems, including safety issues. First, cleanliness. There were dirty dishes and glasses with lipstick stains in the cupboard. There were hairs on several of the towels as if they had not been washed. There were toothpaste stains on the walls, and more. It seemed as if the house had been hastily cleaned at best before we arrived. The hosts asked that we wash dishes and beach towels before we left, but there was no dishwasher or clothes detergent. Saftey: This is the big one. There was a back board loose on the steps from the street into the house. One of our party was almost injured because of this. The toilet in the upstairs bathroom is not bolted down. This causes the toilet to slide and has caused sewage water to leak onto the downstairs ceiling. There are large water spots on the ceiling and the sheetrock tape is ripping. This let us know this problem had been going on for quite some time. We were slightly afraid the ceiling might cave in while we were there. The shower door handle was very loose, the bathroom door was off its wheels...we could go on and on. It seems that the owners are either totally unaware of what is going on in their house or just don't care. We stay in short term rentals over 100 days a year and this is the dirtiest and most unsafe one we have ever seen. ##### Scott O.

Property just as described - great location & easy walk to several restaurants, breweries. Weather was very rainy so we ended up driving some places we would otherwise walk but were glad to have the spacious house to spread out. Nicely refurbed older house. Would definitely recommend! ##### Lynn W.

Would not recommend females walking at night alone in neighborhood. Great stay for what we needed. Would stay again if needed. ##### kenneth m. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 31 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Really liked the character of the house. It was an early 20th century refurb that was both eclectic but updated with modern amenities; but was decorated with antiques. It was within walking distance to the downtown waterfront and close to everything. We enjoyed the stay and will almost certainly come back sometime in the future. The only negative was no on-site parking. We parked in front of the house on the street. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne N. 2 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy home for family or 2 couples The home was clean and a short drive to downtown. Street parking was easy. Good space for relaxing with television or playing games. ##### Jayne N. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne D., Raleigh, North Carolina, US 27 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful find We had a wonderful stay in Wilmington and couldn’t recommend this home enough. The check in directions were easy as was communication with the owner. The home is lovely! Fresh and clean and everything we needed. It is blocks from some great restaurants and shopping so we didn’t need our cars the whole weekend. We even walked to the Live Oak amphitheater for a show with ease. We lucked into a fantastic bakery just around the corner, Brooklyn Cafe and had breakfast there both mornings. All homemade items and great coffee. I would absolutely stay here again. ##### Anne D. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara P. 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wedding Weekend This was the perfect spot for my daughter’s wedding weekend. Such a cute space and within walking distance from the Brooklyn Arts Center! I would definitely stay here again. ##### Tara P. ---
