Great place, but one significant negative

Great location, close to downtown, really nice neighborhood for walking. The house is nicely equipped- everything works pretty well. Chris is a responsive owner and was great to work with. Our only complaint, and it’s a big one depending on when you stay, is the house is VERY poorly insulated. We were there during a particularly cold stretch in January and even with the heat blasting, we were waking up to indoor temperatures in the mid 50’s to low 60’s. All the heat went upstairs and it was really cold on the first floor, really hot upstairs. This wouldn’t be an issue for most of the year - not sure how it would be in the summer. But if you’re planning a winter stay, bring enough clothes to dress warmly inside. -Ray

The perfect neighborhood

I love the simplicity of the house. It is perfect for what I wanted and needed. An older home restored without losing any of the old character. The location could not have been better. A short walk to all the action of this hidden gem of a city. Even closer is Castle St with its small shops, INCREDIBLE yoga studio, CBD bar that hosts open mic on Thursday which is a must attend. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Neighbors all say hello as they walk their dogs. The trees and flowers are old and full of life. The beach is a 30min drive. If that’s your goal my advice for those with a 4x4 go to Ft Fisher and use the drive on beach. Well worth the time and effort. I’m glad to recommend this house even tho selfishly I want it to myself.

Good house and host, but read full review.

This is going to be a long review that I recommend you read the full thing. Even with the not so good things, it’s still hard to recommend against the house. I actually feel bad writing them, but I think people should know. The good: To start, the house is exactly as picured/described. It’s in a safe, beautiful neighborhood that is super walkable and very close to downtown. It’s also a really peaceful neighborhood and the neighbors are lovely. Parking was on the street and I didn’t have any issues finding space right in front of the house for over a month. To get to Wrightsville Beach, it’s an easy 15-20 min drive. Topsail is about an hour away (and totally worth the visit if you have time). Christine, the host, is great. She is super responsive to any needs and has really great tips about places to go/things to do. The rest: Not sure how many people know this before they visit Wilmington, but it has toxic water. Definitely look it up for more info. With that said, there isn’t a water filtration system under the kitchen sink (reverse osmosis filters are best to remove these chemicals). Maybe not a huge deal for a weekend, but I was there a bit over a month. I don’t think it’s something hosts are required to do by law. So, it might be a rare thing for vacation homes in Wilmington, but don’t drink the tap water or brush your teeth/wash your face with it. This is a really very personal preference, but the upstairs bedroom does not have a door. I have a cat and generally close doors to any room that I don’t want her in…especially in vacation homes. I, unfortunately, couldn’t keep her out of that room. Once she went up, I barely saw her again. Which leads to the next issue, my cat (who is an indoor only/only pet) got fleas while we were there. Since she rarely came downstairs/would hide if I went up, I didn’t notice she had fleas until we got back to our own home. I let Christine know on 10/25/21, and she said she is going to treat for them.
