Wilmington hidden treasure

Affordable and true to the listing specifications! Only 20 min from the beach, amazing outdoor area and inside game room. Spacious and comfortable rooms; safe neighborhood. Large kitchen, everything in top notch condition. Extremely pet friendly with no additional fees. The host is attentive and responds quickly. Highly recommend booking your stay here if you have 6 people, want something affordable, and still want to be near the beach.

Refuge

My daughter and I had been in the car extensively and the private pool and hot tub was appealing. The house was comfortable and well decorated. More than the two of us needed and would be fun for a familybut took advantage of the washer and dryer too. Storms were brewing and the pool needed cleaned but we used it before lightning stopped our outdoor activities. The hot tub chemicals were also off, bleaching our swimsuits. We got takeout and enjoyed TV and stayed in to rest up before the next leg of our trip.
