Great Property In A Great Location

We were in Wilmington for a long weekend. I knew about the arts district but never stayed there. It’s a great area to stay! Lot’s of small, local neighborhood bars/restaurants.The house was very clean and reflected exactly what was in the pictures online. The owner was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay.

Clean, cute, good location

The house is clean and decorated nicely. The space is the bottom floor of a 2-story house. The street and houses on it are cute. We're a family of 5, so it was nice to have the back bedroom with ensuite for the parents and the shared bathroom for the kids. The house is stocked with coffee, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash - and candy. Street parking was easy. There's a cafe right around the corner. We walked to downtown and along the Riverwalk and felt safe. Great stay!

Walking distance to town, cute place

Overall it was very pleasant and met our needs for a girls weekend to celebrate two 60 year old sister in laws with their 80 year old mother. We walked into town during the day and chilled at the rental during the night. Nicely decorated and had everything you needed. Communication by the owner was excellent. The only complaint is that it's the downstairs unit with another unit above it. Unfortunately they were doing construction work on the upper unit and started really early. Someone in our party came from an hour earlier time zone so it woke her up. We were gone most of the day so it didn't bother us for long. If the upper unit was rented, it might be quite loud since we heard every step made by the workers.

Visit Candyland

This a cute property. It has a great layout - 3 bedrooms; 2 baths (one ensuite). Kitchen is well equipped. Nice laundry room if you need to wash anything. Little front porch nice to sit on in the morning or evening. Walkable to several restaurants, coffee shops and downtown.

Comfortable and stylish

Nearly everything about our stay was perfect. The home was clean and well-appointed, my husband and two teenage daughters were very comfortable. The communication with Luke was nearly perfect. The rain cloud that affected our trip was that the TV would not operate. We thought it may have been the batteries in the remote, but when replacement batteries weren't delivered until late in the afternoon of our stay (and the batteries did not fix the issue), we never heard back with any other attempt to resolve. I expect this was just a fluke -- and it wouldn't dissuade me from recommending this location -- but it was disappointing nonetheless.

Great spot in Wilmington

This is a great little house on a quiet street, but close to all the fun. Walking distance to downtown attractions, plus some fun little restaurants and bars even closer by. House had everything we needed. Definitely recommend.

Great Choice!!

Six of us made the boat trip from Georgetown, SC to Wilmington. Candyland was a short walk and straight shot from the Port City Marina. Recommend this rental because of the location, cleanliness, and the wonderful communication by Luke.

Beautiful condo in adorable neighborhood!

This condo was beautiful, spotless, and absolutely perfect! We had 4 people staying there and also had our pets with us. It had everything we needed, including a full kitchen, 3 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a washer and dryer. Parking on the street was easy and it was so close to downtown Wilmington. The decorations were so cute- it was definitely one of the nicest condos I've stayed in through Vrbo. The owner was very communicative and answered all of my questions so quickly. I have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend staying at this awesome home!
