The host company (A1Property) was a treat to work with and very responsive to an issue with the electric lock batteries going dead. This was a great location for us in our visit to the Wilmington area to watch our son run in the marathon and visit with him and his fiance

Perfect location to enjoy the beach as well as the calm of the intercoastal. Close enough to walk to downtown and enjoy activities. Night time was quiet and serene.

Beautiful views!
Beautiful views, comfortable home, close to everything, loads of activities! We really enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaking and canoeing in the bay. The beach was an easy walk. Our boys really enjoyed surfing. Our boys went to the nearby skate park nearly every night. We will definitely return!

We enjoyed our stay at the home very with one exception. The main floor had no bathroom and with my elderly mom coming it was very difficult to navigate stairs just to find a bathroom when everyone is gathered on the main floor. I would not stay there again for that reason.
