Recent Wilmington vacation rental reviews

We love this private neighborhood and comfortable house. Everything we need is close by. The house is well equipped, with a fenced in yard perfect for our dog. The beds are comfortable, the showers hot and strong, and the kitchen has plenty of dishes, utensils and cookware. Driving to Wrightsville, Carolina Beach or even Topsail Beach is convenient from this location. Our favorite is to go to Long Leaf Park in the mornings and Wrightsville beach after 7pm in the evenings (when the parking is free).

I was completely unfamiliar with Wilmington when I made this booking, and wanted a "beach vacation" for our family. I didn't do literally any research and picked the highest-starred rental from a list of options, so a lot of this is "my bad," honestly. This house is in a VERY mixed area as far as quality of homes, behavior of neighbors, etc. Typically of a lot of historic districts, there were houses which were boarded up or falling apart, and then houses which were pristine. The neighbor keeps a lot of eclectic stuff on his porch and came out to wish us a nice vacation / offer help or weather updates as he saw us outside. We did not feel safe walking at night, and observed lots of concerning behavior on our walk to downtown at 2 p.m. When we first got in, I did a walkthrough of the house and found the second bathroom ceiling/upper wall was covered in bleed-through mold or mildew. In the master, there's the same thing all around the bathroom fan. Water droplets collected on the rusted a/c vent in the master as well, even when we left the exhaust fan on all day. The closet of the master bedroom was also lined with mold on all walls and the ceiling. There was a definite smell of mold/mildew upstairs from this. The a/c worked well there were fans in the upstairs rooms, the windows opened (screens had a lot of holes) just fine and the stove/microwave/fridge/dishwasher/laundry were all in great shape. The toaster did not work properly and it was plugged into a surge protector which was then plugged into yet another surge protector, which is very dangerous. So we plugged it into the wall directly and hoped for the best. Cabinet space was ample. There were several roaches (large and small) found inside the home, but otherwise the bugs stayed outside. The garbage can was small, so we had to take several bags to the curb over our 3 day stay. The laundry only had 2 wash packs, so we bought and left additional ones. The selection of pans/pots is limited, but we were able to make dinner with very little struggle. Sinks, showers, and toilets all worked well and had good pressure.

Amazing place in the neighborhood I grew in. The unit was totally upgraded from its original design. Our stay was awesome and I recommend staying here if visiting Wilmington, NC..
