We spent a wonderful weekend at the Guest Nest. The size was perfect for my husband and I and our dog. They have maximized every inch of space. The place is nicely decorated, warm and inviting.

First, Cindy is amazing! Very welcoming and cane out to greet me. This little place was exactly what I needed for my weekend getaway to Wilmington. The location is perfect. Close to both downtown and the beaches. The place was near spotless when I arrived and very cool inside temp wise. I would give it more than 5 if I could. I will definitely stay there again when I make my way back to Wilmington! Thank you Cindy for an excellent weekend!!!!

Cindy and her family have made an amazing and affordable place for families. The Quaint Container is the perfect spot. It was so clean and perfect. She and her family are personable, helpful, and kind. We will definitely be back. I would rate it 100 out of 10 if I could. There is no laundry on site to do, the kitchen has an air fryer and microwave, a mini fridge and freezer, fans, ac, and the porches. It was EXACTLY how described. Amazing place and Amazing people!

We were travelling by car from Florida to Pennsylvania and needed a place to stay to break up the drive. We stopped in Wilmington for a day to see the Battleship North Carolina. I have had some interests in mini homes and container homes, so this was a perfect opportunity to see what it was all about. Turns out it was pretty darn cool. Location is quiet, Sheetz 24hr market really close by, and pretty much near just about everything. It was a calm, clean, and cool (it was hot outside!!). Cindy and her husband (our hosts) invited us to stop by that evening. So I did. I met some good folks. We told stories and laughed and had a really good time. I would definitely stay again. Honestly, if I was passing through Wilmington, I'd stop just to say hello.

Me and my wife loved this spot. We only stayed for a 3 day weekend get away for her birthday and knew she wanted to go to downtown Wilmington and the beach and this location was absolutely perfect for a great in between spot to choose to go to downtown Wilmington for food and fun and the beach for an all morning/all day stay. This container turned guest nest had exactly everything we needed for just the 2 of us. It was clean, check in process very easy, quiet and peaceful, and great couple nights of relaxing sleep! We definitely plan to stay at this location again when going to Wilmington in the future. Loved it!

We have stayed at many places in the Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach area, and this was by far the cleanest place we’ve experienced. The host was an excellent communicator, and everything about our stay was perfect. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and look forward to staying here again.
