Perfect for family gathering

We had a welcome dinner at this home for our wedding weekend and everyone loved how spacious and homey it was. It was hard to find a host that would be gracious enough for us to hold a dinner and be close to downtown Wilmington (only 10 min!). We are very grateful for the stay! Thank you

Weekend in Wilmington

What a bright and clean bungalow! House on Winston was just what we needed for the weekend. Conveniently located and nicely updated, we enjoyed spending time in the space and wished we had more time to hang out in the backyard/deck. Appreciated that the TV was fully equipped with streaming channels (important as it was a college football Saturday). Comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. We will stay here again!

The BEST!!!

Loved this quaint little home that lives large for gathering of friends of family for an 80th birthday celebration. There were plenty of places for folks to gather for catching up and loved the outdoor fireplace as well. It's not fancy or pristine as it's an older cottage with tasteful updates, but has a wonderful vibe and felt very homey. Everyone agreed it was a perfect venue for our needs. We will most definitely rent again when we visit the old man!

Great location!

Enjoyed our time in Wilmington! The home has a great location - it's not far to the beach or downtown. Really enjoyed the beautiful backyard area with the kids! The home had everything we needed. We also appreciated that we were given a later check out time with small children - so helpful!

Charming Renovation

This house was a wonderful, clean, comfortable home full of charming character. The back patio and firepit were awesome though we didn't get a chance to partake of the firepit, this time. We used the chairs for the beach which was awesome since we were in a packed car on a quick trip so weren't able to bring our own. My son awesome enjoyed riding around on the bikes provided. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This was an excellent rental and we will happily return.

Cozy & Entertaining

This is a cute property. Very clean and comfortable. Our small family group including my 7 year old enjoyed the games, books, puzzles,etc.. The private backyard was nice for us to hang out and the cozy kitchen with window seat was a hit. We will definitely be back!

Nice place to stay near UNCW and downtown

We enjoyed our stay. It was move-in weekend at UNCW, so we were super busy and didn’t get to spend much time at the house. We look forward to staying again in the future so we can enjoy it more! Everything was very clean and we appreciated the welcome basket of goodies.

Great Last-Minute Getaway

We traveled to Wilmington some-what last minute and were so lucky that this property was still available! This place is a treasure for families with kids - the back yard has open space to play, a hammock for relaxing, a wonderful outdoor fireplace for making s'mores, and a just in general, is a great space! The property owner had so many games, books, and chalk for the kids, as well as leaving a basket of snacks that they wasted no time digging in to! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the house is well situated between downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. The cooler, bikes and beach chairs saved us so much space, and made our beach days that much better! Thanks so much for the thoughtfulness!

Exterior needed some cleaning. Interior extremely well appointed. Bonus room really useful. Outside entertainment area very nice. We did not use the property to its fullest offerings because we have two sons that live in Wilmington and we entertained at their homes.

My sisters and I planned a girls’ weekend away and this was the perfect spot for us. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything we wanted to do. The house is super clean, nicely decorated, with lots of great touches like a binder with restaurant recommendations and a basket of snacks laid out for us. The owner was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
