Perfect for a family stay that includes the dog
The property is in a good location with easy access to Mayfaire shopping and Wrightsville Beach. The neighborhood was quiet. It’s an older home but very clean and has everything you need. The fenced in yard is a very nice feature if you have a dog. The fence is about waist high so you will likely need to supervise your pet while they are outside.

Adorable House in a Great Location!
Oh my goodness, this was the perfect house for our visit to Wilmington! It was just as described, though the pictures don't do it justice. It had a quaint beach cottage feel, and we enjoyed sitting in the back courtyard in the evenings. This home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and downtown! Heather was the perfect host! She quickly responded to our inquiries, and was always very pleasant. We will definitely stay again!

Great Place!
Our family stayed at this place for 3 nights during September. It was very clean, beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was very safe and nice. There was a nice trail to walk our dog and the location was close to a beautiful shopping center and the beach. Our family stated that they would definitely stay there again.

Great cozy home!
We needed a pet friendly house close to our son’s apartment. This house was perfect! Back yard was fenced in and pretty decor throughout. Pillows were really comfy! Host was very prompt to answering questions. Only minor issue was large dogs next door barked every time we were outside. Thank you for a great stay we will be back!

This is our 2nd year staying here. We love the properties’ amenities, cleanliness, and location. The host is very responsive. I locked us out of the house on a hot summer day with groceries in the car. The owner, who lives close by, was there in minutes to unlock the door.

Clean, comfortable - Great Break
This was our first time in the area and we loved the location of this house. Close to beaches and everything else we needed (walking distance to Mayfaire Mall and just a few minutes drive to local beaches). The house was very clean and comfortable- everything we needed. The house and garden are very private. Really enjoyed our time in Wilmington and would definitely stay here again.

Another Amazing Stay!
This is the second time I have stayed at this wonderful property. Stayed with my two miniature Dachshunds for a couple weeks. The entire house was again pristine. The backyard is fenced, spacious, and beautifully appointed. The patio is great for breakfast outside and enjoying quiet time for reading and soaking up sunshine. The light string arrangement is awesome at night. The neighborhood is very low key and safe - all families and very quiet with some nice walking routes available. Kitchen has all the necessities, all quite new as well as the new washer and dryer. The host was extremely helpful from booking through departure- always had a very prompt and helpful response for my questions. Cannot recommend this property highly enough!

Excellent House!
We had such a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and true to the pictures. This property was well stocked with everything you would need and had great appliances. The backyard was a great area. The fenced in yard was perfect for our pups. The yard was well lit, had ample seating, fire pit, and a charcoal grill. The house had plenty of space to be comfortable. I was able to work remotely for a few days with no issues or lag for video calls. The pocket door was an awesome surprise that helped us keep the spaces separated when needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, felt very safe, and was close to many stores and routes to get to the local attractions. If we ever come back to Wilmington, I will be sure to see if this house is available!

Outstanding!
This wonderful home was perfect for a couple weeks away with just me and my two miniature Dachshunds. This was not a beach stay, but just a quest for some alone time. The neighborhood was great- very safe and quiet. Excellent for my dogs due to large fenced back yard and plenty of patio furniture for meals or just sitting quietly. Plenty of beautiful plants and the strung night lights made evenings on the patio a very pleasant experience. The kitchen was spotless and fully equipped. All furniture and living spaces were well maintained and quite comfortable. Beds were great. nice front porch with rockers. Property manager was always available, but only needed to contact regarding check in clarification and trash day - no problems with which I needed help. I highly recommend this property and intend to make a second reservation shortly.

We have loved Wrightsville Beach for years! We now have e-bikes and this place is perfect. Plenty of room, right next to Mayfair Center, the cross town trail is easy access and the beach is close! Bonus is the wonderful fenced in back yard with beautiful flowers & greenery. Can't wait to book again.
