Sweet Cottage with Personal Touches

We stayed at this downtown Wilmington property for two nights while in town for my daughter’s soccer showcase, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Check-in was seamless, the home was spotless, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind.My girls especially loved the hot tub, the s’mores station, and all the fun games available—such a great way to wind down after long days on the field. The location offered great access to nearby restaurants. While we didn’t explore downtown much (the girls were wiped out after their games), we ordered from local spots via DoorDash and everything arrived quickly and easily.A few thoughtful touches really stood out—especially the privacy screen in the carport and the delicious coffee provided. The only thing we could’ve used was a few extra towels, but otherwise, everything was perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing and would absolutely stay here again!

Comfy, Dog-Friendly Stay

We stayed for a week over New Year’s and, with two dogs, a fenced yard was key. This home was really cute and comfy for both two- and four-legged guests. There was a nice sized yard and a very nice dog bed which our Ridgeback greatly enjoyed.The s’mores station was a nice touch and we enjoyed it one night hanging around the fire pit.We enjoyed our stay and hated to leave so soon.

Best kept secret!

If you are looking for a cozy home that’s truly a hidden gem this one is it. Brian thought of everything. We’ve rented many houses over the years and this by far is our favorite. Fenced in backyard for the dog and beautiful fire pit, grill, and hot tub was perfect for rest and relaxing! Don’t miss out on this one! We will be back soon!

Downtown Wilmington

This was a terrific place to stay. My husband and I, along with our two dogs, stayed for two weeks. We worked remotely one week and vacationed the second. This house was perfect for us. The fenced in yard was great for our dogs. We really enjoyed the firepit and hot tub. The location was really good for us because we like to walk. This was a 10-15 minute walk to the Cape Fear River. Walking to the river felt very safe. We did walk in the other direction (away from the river), and that was a little rundown. This place was also a short drive to several beaches. I highly recommend Freeman Park Beach because you can drive on it (with a 4x4 vehicle). We also enjoyed Carolina and Wrightsville beaches. Communication with Brian was top notch. We had a small issue and he responded immediately. Overall, this was an amazing trip and we would definitely stay here again.

Best VRBO I’ve stayed at

This was such a great house. Brian was quick with his communications, the house was as described & pictured in the listing, and the accommodations at the house were top notch. From comfortable beds and linens to a well stocked kitchen, the hot tub & fireplace, a beautiful backyard, towels, toiletries, games, easy access to plugs & usb ports etc. Brian really went about and beyond to make this feel like home. I didn’t have my dogs with me this trip, but they would’ve been more than comfortable here with the big dog bed, bowls, and even a nice scooper ready for business in the backyard. 10/10 recommend and would love to stay here again.

Family attending funeral

Simply wonderful. The house was very warm and welcoming to include very nice and clean. We really appreciate the local information that was posted on the refrigerator. The house location was very convenient to our local family members. Perfect location and the amenities, - i.e hot tub and the fire pit were a great addition. Although we didn’t use the fire pit, the Jacuzzi was perfect way to relax after our long drive! Outstanding place and host!!!

Fantastic Experience!

I stayed at the "house on Nunn" for about 5 weeks. It was a work/vacation combination and my first time to the area. During the booking experience Brian was great, responded quickly to questions and was overall very responsive. We checked in without a hitch and the house was everything and more. Aside from a stronger cork screw I can't think of a single item we didn't have. When one of three burners on the grill went out a new grill appeared within hours! Brian maintained the yard and hot tub during my stay and they were both in impeccable condition. The yard was perfect for my dog and we got near daily use of the hot tub and or fire pit. The front porch is great and we spent many mornings having our coffee out there. The beds, bedding etc were all in excellent shape and cozy. The Nespresso machine got a good work out and Brian made sure there were plenty of pods and a variety. The house is just a short walk to Front Street where all the action is- and amazing sunsets. We walked down almost every night and shopped, drank, had dinner- or simply took in the view. The local beaches were good but I am probably more biased to the beaches in my area (MA) - but Carolina Beach was my favorite of the ones near by. Southport is about 35 minutes away and a must see. We took the ferry to Bald Island which was beautiful I wish we had more time there. From aquariums, museums, ships (USS Carolina) there is so much to do. Highly recommend!

Great Stay in Wilmington

We booked Brian's house to surprise our daughter who attends UNCW. It was her birthday weekend and she was missing her dogs, so we brought them along. House was exactly like the listing, very nicely decorated and had everything our family needed. Dogs enjoyed the yard, we loved having smores around the fire pit and can't say enough about how clean the place was. Would definitely stay again.

Cutest house!

This house is cute as a button. Brian was a great host and communication was fast and easy. Me, my husband, and my sister had a great weekend. The house was beautiful, well kept and very inviting. The houses are very close together on this street, but where this house is, you still feel like you have privacy. The yard was perfect for our 3 dogs to run around in while we enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. Definitely recommend! We will be staying here again if we are ever in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Brian

Host profile image
I was born and raised in San Diego California before heading to Boulder CO for college (Go Buffs!) I stayed in the Denver area for about 10 years before my most recent move back to a coast here in Wilmington NC.

I am a business operations specialist and have worked for a fintech company and global publishing company on back end business operations roles.

I have a passion for helping others and my Airbnb is a way that I can fulfill that passion with a little southern hospitality.

I started hosting because ever since the pandemic, I have become inseparable from my puppy Hudson. When traveling, it has always been hard and expensive to find a place or hotel that would allow him to come with me. I hope that my home can alleviate that stress by accommodating for humans and dogs alike!

I am newer to hosting, but have put a lot of time and effort into the home and hosting so if you have any feedback please let me know, I want to be able to provide the best experience possible.

Why they chose this property

This property is in the same neighborhood that I live in and love. It's in the center of almost all the unique districts ILM has to offer and is still less than 10 miles from Wrightsville beach.

What makes this property unique

Having a private yard and private parking downtown is really unique and makes traveling comfortable the entire family, inclusive of pets!
