Quaint, lovely, clean home! It's true that it's just steps from the beach!

The house was lovely. The porch was so nice to sit on and relax. I actually cooked there, and usually NEVER cook while on vacation. The kitchen had everything I needed.

Pre holiday get away

The home was cozy and lovely for our short getaway. We initially expected to have an ocean view, but that was from misinterpreting the pictures. The home description was completely accurate. A simple walk around the house behind this one gave us beach access. Maybe it was the time of year but the beach was practically ours alone.The beds and living room furniture were comfortable and homey. We loved our stay.

Horrible communication

Messaged about 4 people coming and didn’t reply or fix it till the day off. Then gave me a call about the check in situation and asked for my ID. Then told us we couldn’t come and no exception even if we had someone 25 with us.

Great little place

This home is a very cute place with a convenient location that is close to the beach and the boardwalk. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It is a small little place but sufficient for 4 people or less. The owners were very friendly and communicative. I would highly recommend!

We needed a spot for an event in Wilmington and turned it into a mini vacation. You can't beat the location with a bar down the street and a perfect breakfast spot the other way. Close walk to the beach too!
