We had a wonderful stay- the home was spacious for my family of 4. It has a fenced yard for your fur babies. Plus it has a basketball net for some outdoor fun. The house was clean with all the essentials we needed for our stay. The beds were comfy and the location was great for us!

This house was perfect for our weekend stay in Wilmington while we attended a wedding. We brought our two small dogs who loved exploring the large fenced in yard. We had everything we needed and the location was super convenient to everything.

The host was very communicative. The property had a lot of "extras" like toys/games for my son, bottled water, individual creamers for coffee etc. Everything was very clean.

Exactly as pictured. Quiet neighborhood.Hair from previous guests was on shower wall & we had a couple roach sightings in the kitchen. Gaming system did not permit us to play any video games & the quality of the bicycles were subpar. Overall a decent place to stay, just did not meet the expectations from previous reviews & my own personal cleanliness preferences.

Home away from home!

Michael’s place was the perfect place for our family vacation! Check in was super easy. The house had all the amenities we could need. My superhero loving toddler loved the bunk bed room! There were games and toys in there which was so helpful and kept him entertained.The house was clean and smelled amazing, my husband and I commented every time we opened the door “it smells so good in here!”. We will definitely stay here again when we’re back in Wilmington!

Wonderful stay.

Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I would have liked to stay longer. The quiet neighborhood was nice while drinking coffee on the front porch in the mornings. Dogs had more than enough room to roam—a huge lot to be so close to everything. We didn't walk because of the heat, but it was a very walkable location. There was a nice assortment of basketballs and soccer balls to enjoy both goals. The host was kind and responsive.

Well appointed spacious home in a quiet neighborhood convenient to all of the Wilmington area amenities. Very clean and the host was exceptional. The bunk room was well stocked with fun items for entertaining kids; made us wish ours hadn’t grown! Large fenced in yard was great for the pet and with parking right at the back door made for easy unload/and load. Will be our first choice on any return trips to the area.

My family an I had a wonderful stay. The house is small but very charming. Michael has done a great job making sure that everything is as should be to make your stay a great experience. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs and they had a great time running around and exploring it. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come down to Wilmington.
