Amazing Girls Weekend!

My best friend and I had an amazing experience at this property. Owners live nearby and were super helpful and attentive. It is clean, beautiful and peaceful. The beach and all other conveniences are super easy to get to! Downtown Willmington was easy as well! We hope to return again.

An overall amazing experience!!

Our stay at The Glass House was amazing! The house was beautiful and the location was great. We have two young children, so to have the house so conveniently located near everything was wonderful. The best of all were the hosts. They truly cared about us and our experience at their property. They so kindly added cute little touches for our kids and many other things that made us feel right at home. An overall amazing experience!

Beautiful Home in Great Location

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home in a private, quiet area of Wilmington. It was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. It was the serene escape that we had hoped for. Major grocery stores are just up the road. Popular locations from historic downtown to the ocean beaches are a quick, easy drive. We found the location to be perfect for our trip. John and Michelle were fantastic with communication from the time of reservation to our departure. During our stay, they offered recommendations for local restaurants, coffee shops, and recreation. They were the sweetest hosts who cared about ensuring we had an exceptional experience. We would happily book with them again.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle and John Taylor

Host profile image
Whether you are seeking solitude or want to swap travel stories we welcome you. We live on the property and share 3 acres with The Glass House. We each have our privacy as you can't see one house from the other but we may cross paths at the dock. We built the second home as a passion project and our guests share how much they love it. More than that is how much we enjoy hosting. We are locals and are both real estate agents and John is a builder, yes, he built the Glass House:) .

Why they chose this property

Our guest share how much they love the architecture and design and the feeling they get when they are here. It is very relaxing and absolutely beautiful no matter which window you look out. The privacy allows you to unplug and relax. Some of our guests like to run at the Pages Creek Nature Preserve just a few minutes away.

What makes this property unique

You'll be surrounded by trees at the end of a quiet street but only 5 minutes to groceries and 10 minutes to Wrightsville Beach. Great place to work from as well.
