    We had such a great time! The property is so beautiful, our dogs enjoyed having such a large fenced area to run around in! We absolutely fell in love with Carolina Beach and can’t wait to come back!

    My husband, daughter and I were here to get her moved in to UNCW. An emotional time for us and staying at this lovely home was a gift for us. We would most definitely stay here again. We were able to enjoy both Wilmington and Carolina Beach without needing to drive far, as the location is central to both:

    Even though the weather was not what we had hoped, the rental was fantastic. As a seasoned Vrbo renter, it is without a doubt the best supplied house we have stayed at. The beds & linens are top notch. The yard is large & flat. Perfect for outdoor games & play (when there are not 10 inches of rain ?) It is also situated perfectly about halfway between Wilmington & Carolina Beach. And if you want some great local seafood, go to Fish Bites. It was delicious!

    My wife and I came to Wilmington for a week because we are thinking of moving there. We wanted to find a place to stay that wasn't necessarily on the beach, but close enough that we could get a feel for the surrounding area and enjoy the beach when we wanted to. This beach bungalow is in the perfect location. A stone's throw to the ICW and very nice community with lots of large trees that provide nice shade. We could feel the ocean breeze each day that would help cool things off a bit so we enjoyed sitting outside on both porches. We brought our dog who loved the back yard. The house was extremely clean, nicely decorated, and we will definitely be back. Jeff and April were very quick to respond to questions and very welcoming. Overall, an excellent experience and a great place to stay!

    We took a quick trip to Wilmington to check on our new build. If you’re considering a hotel for a short stay, check out this well appointed cottage instead. It suited all of our needs and was perfect for our little dog with the fenced rear yard. Very peaceful surroundings. The beds were amazingly comfortable. Highly recommend!
