The beds were comfortable and the house was mostly clean; however there were parts of the home that weren’t maintained like the closets not having a place to hang clothes with one beam laying on the floor and the other was gone completely in another bedroom. The switches on the lamps in one of the bedrooms were broken and could not be turned on. There also was some wall damage that was not repaired. There were visible bugs in the overhead bathroom light, and the living room furniture was very dirty. We put sheets over the couch and loveseat. While the bathroom in the front was okay, the master shower curtain was moldy. Overall, the house could use an external and internal review by the owner to see items that need to be cleaned, repaired or replaced

Arrived to a dirty house.

I rented the property for one night hosting multiple friends. Upon arriving at 3:45, past the check in time of 3:00, the house was dirty from the previous renters. Cleaners were sent to the property and we were unable to be in the house until 5:45. I was told the trip would be refunded for the inconvenience and have yet to receive further communication or compensation.

Plenty of space

This house offers a lot for the price. All 4 bedrooms are a good size and had comfortable queen beds. We loved that it was pet friendly. The office area with carpeting was perfect for my 2-month-old granddaughter to enjoy her play mat, and the living room and dining area table comfortably seated 6 adults. We had some minor issues with the cleanliness of the 2nd bathroom and lack of toilet paper and paper towels, so I texted the owner who reached out to his cleaning service and they called me to sincerely apologize, and had more paper goods at our doorstep the next morning (didn’t need them sooner). Our only complaint is that there is no rod in the master closet for hanging clothes. Maybe it was painted recently and they didn’t put it back on but it definitely should be replaced asap. We were there for a rehearsal dinner and wedding and had dressy clothes we needed to hang. Overall it was a good stay.

Family Wedding in Wilmington

We were coming from Pennsylvania for a family wedding. We arrived a little early the day if our checkin. The owner allowed us to check in a little early which was great. We loved that the house has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. We have no complaints at all. We really enjoyed staying at this property and would strongly consider staying here again when visiting family in the area. We recommend this place to others!

convenient location

The property was as pictured, just a bit older looking and the furniture has some stains. The beds were comfortable. There were cleaning products, trash bags, and laundry detergent available, which was a thoughtful touch. I emailed the owner with a question before we left and he got back to me very quickly. The property is located on a busy 2-lane road and car traffic could be heard from the front bedroom and living room, but it wasn't terrible. There's a very nice paved path within walking distance which is perfect for walking dogs or riding a bike. Also close by are plenty of restaurants, downtown Wilmington and shopping. Fort Fisher State Park is about 1/2 hour away. One thing that was very difficult was getting the sheets and towels washed before we left. That's a bit much to ask of people who have a very long drive back home. I would definitely recommend this property for a short stay or maybe even an extended stay.

Awesome place

This property is great for families! We had 3 adults and a toddler, and we had plenty of room. Comes fully equipped and has smart TVs for entertainment. The location is great. Only downside is having to get all the laundry done (in the dryer) before leaving-- but the machines are large and quick so it ended up not taking a ton of time. Definitely will be staying again!

Convenient for short trip

The property was clean enough. We did not leave any food out but still managed to see a few bugs. House has a smell to it like it was heavily used at some point in its past by a heavy smoker. It’s not overwhelming but someone with a sensitive nose (me) will pick up on it. There’s an apartment garage that wasn’t disclosed on the listing as an additional rental property. Not a problem, but not as much privacy. It’s also a shared driveway. The first night, Friday, the garage apartment guests came in during the wee hours of the morning, presumably out on the town, and hung out directly outside the primary bedroom laughing and talking at 2:30 am. Also, having to do ALL the laundry until the last dry cycle was not disclosed on the listing so we had to plan to get up early and get a load started. That also changed our plans for leaving that morning since we had to stick around for laundry cycles. Overall, it was fine but a short weekend where we spent most of our time somewhere else, but wouldn’t rent again.

Good location and spacious

We were a group of 4 staying for a fishing trip. This was a spacious home that allowed each of us to have our own room. The house was clean upon arrival and we had no issues checking in or using the code for the front door. The instruction sheets provided when you walked in were very helpful. The only negatives we noted were the airport was nearby and you could sometimes here the planes fly over, and that the small bathroom toilet sometimes squealed after flushing. Neither were major issues thought. I would recommend this property.

My Vacation Stay.

The rental property was beautiful. The property owner was very nice helpful and respectful to our needs. Just had an issue with the house being cleaned and there were too many ants infestation and roaches infestation. It would have been a great vacation, but I couldn't enjoy myself because of that. -Ellen Love

Ein tolles Haus mit vielen Schlafzimmern. Hätten wir gewusst, dass es so schön ist und auch gut von der Lage her liegt, dann hätten wir uns länger eingebucht. Sollten wir mal wieder in der nähe sein, werden wir uns freuen dieses Domizil erneut buchen.
