House was gross/Street was sketch
First of all, there was a dried-up, old chicken wing just sitting on the couch. (ew!) There was a mysterious white liquid dried up on the couch as well. The floors were disgusting. (unswept) We had to make our own beds. W triple decker bunk bed, but the third level was unusable. There was an old water bottle on the bunk bed as well. Very obvious housekeeping didn't come to the house in between stays. We requested early check-in at 12, so we arrived at the house at noon. He texted me at 4 pm and said the "House was ready" and "housekeeping couldn't make my bed". Housekeeping never came in general and he clearly forgot about our request for early check-in. The water in the bathroom with a shower was brown, safe to say we didn't shower for a weekend. (water pressure was terrible) In the bathroom with the toilet, it constantly smelt of feces. (even before we used it.) No driveway, the street was sketchy, neighbors would scream, and the road was undrivable.

This property is absolutely adorable and has everything to make your stay perfect. There is such individuality in every room and it makes you truly feel at home away from home. The patio and back yard space is wonderful to relax. Bryan responded immediately with any questions and was very welcoming. We had a wonderful time in Wilmington and this home made it even more special! Thank you!

Overall very good
The check in had good communication. The house was very cute, it was very small but just fine for two people. We had about 4 cockroaches spotted in the house during our stay which wasn't fun, but the whole neighborhood was crawling with them so I didn't take that as the house being gross. It is right by everything, so that is nice. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Great House for our anniversary
I surprised my wife with a trip to Wilmington, North Carolina for our 1 year anniversary. We had always talked about one day taking a trip to Wilmington to visit the sights of her favorite TV show One Tree Hill.
I booked this house based on location and what it had to offer and for the 2 of us it was perfect. A fully stocked kitchen with spices and things most would need to cook which sounds crazy but most rental homes don't have such things usually so it was nice that it was there.
There is a 2nd bedroom that realistically anyone thats not a child would be able to stay in the 2nd or 3rd bunk but there are mattresses there If you needed it.
The house was clean when we got there and we kept it that way. The bathroom was clean which is always a plus.
I was a big fan of the outdoor porch on the side of the house. There is a propane fire pit but I couldn't get it to light, but that could just be on me.
The house is super close to the downtown area as well and myself and the wife did make several stops to different bars and restaurants in the area. We are planning to come back again to the city and will for sure keep this location in mind for another rental

Wonderful weekend!
Darling little bungalow-type home with plenty of amenities. It was exactly what we needed for a last-minute stay. Only advice to owner is that the bunk room with the rope ladder gave us a good laugh. For anyone older than 25 and unfit that bed could be a challenge to access. Also when you park in the grass you have to drive over a ditch/curb area, which can wreak havoc on the bottom of a packed car. Just need some fill dirt. Otherwise, thank you. Super weekend.
