Wow is all I can say! I have stayed in many rentals and this might be my favorite. Well equipped with all the essentials (love the coffee and espresso and tea bar, as well as toiletries), and so many amenities and attention to detail. The home is thoughtfully decorated and the location is great. I absolutely plan to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable rental house. Cozy and clean inside and out. It was thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked with everything needed for a comfortable vacation. We especially appreciated the pet-friendly fenced yard. With a great location just minutes from restaurants, shops, and attractions, it was easy to get around. The provided suggestions for local dining and activities were a fantastic touch. We will definitely be renting this house again!

Pleasantly surprised by how nice the house is compared to the pictures on VRBO. The house is well decorated and clean (considering it's pet friendly) Great space for the group to hang out on the large couch in the living room or have breakfast at the kitchen table in the morning. The backyard is fully fenced in and you can trust your pet won't find a way out. Makes the vacation more laid back knowing you can let the dogs out, instead of getting the leash and harness on. Overall great accommodates and very well located to the beach or downtown Wilmington.
