Great place to stay in Wilmington. I came to go to the area beaches, and this location was very convenient to them. Very comfortable furnishings - with a wonderfully- furnished kitchen. Very helpful host who replied quickly to messages. Great rental property overall.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The place was super clean and nicely decorated. The only downside was a lack of an ice maker that works, but we just bought ice. Thanks for sharing your home.

Hi Hernando Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet high standards for maintaining our 5 star property and providing a comfortable stay for every guest. We do want to clarify that the accommodation reserved was designed for two guests, and we were unable to accommodate a request to have six people stay in that unit. We understand that this may have been disappointing, but these limits are in place to ensure the comfort of all of our guests. We also appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention and will continue to carefully monitor the property which has Orkin monthly service and maintain the 5star standards that our many guests have come to expect.

Property looks just as listed. Clean rooms, comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, helpful to have laundry available. Great little coffee shop & eatery "It's Coffee Time" on Wrightsville Ave, just a short stroll from the Hideaway if no time to make your own at the property. Very easy to get to downtown Wilmington or the lovely Wrightsville Beach.

Cute place. Love the privacy and the ease of access. Hosts very responsive. Two minor issues: there’s a gap in the front door weatherstripping, so bugs can sometimes get in, and the tap seemingly has well water that smells a little sulfurous (which is weird since it’s a city of Wilmington property)

It was cozy, comfortable, spacious, affordable and close by to stores & attractions. Stand up Shower door wouldnt stay shut. And the bugs were an issue. Suggest to spray inside as we'll. Outside of that our stay was good.

Thank you for your helpful feedback. We will have handyman replace the shower door closure. We also have Orkin out monthly to spray inside and out. Sounds like with the rain a special trip is needed. Thank you again
