Relaxing Weekend Getaway

My best friend and I planned a quick weekend trip to the area and had the BEST time staying with Phoebe! Her home is so welcoming and such a beautiful location. Breakfast was excellent as many others have included in their reviews. We also took advantage of the hot tub and kayaks. Phoebe makes you feel like you’re visiting family or a friend. Thank you for the amazing weekend!

Phoebe and Blueberry Pancakes

We planned a short get-a-way to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Phoebe was there to great us upon arrival and we noted in the ad and our own experience that she actually resides in the home, not separately, and has her own bedroom on the main floor. She used the kitchen to bake but otherwise stayed out of site for the most part to allow guests to use the rest of the home on the main floor- the living room and sun room. She is polite and conscientious to retreat back to her bedroom whenever guests are present. We woke daily to the wonderful smell of breakfast which we enjoyed together each day with the host at the dining table on the main floor. We were asked to remove our shoes upon arrival and whenever in the home, which we accommodated. Phoebe is delightful and her blueberry pancakes are the best I’ve have had! In fact I asked to have them two days in a row. As it was just my wife and I, and our purpose was to enjoy our anniversary, we were not sure how it would work out given the host lives on property. It worked out okay! We enjoyed her company and she was considerate enough not to overly intrude on our privacy, given we were there for a romantic getaway. Thank you for the experience Phoebe and we wish you all the best!

Pretty Place

Phoebe's place is very cozy and even though it is a shared space there is still privacy. She is a wonderful host and makes a nice breakfast! The beautiful scenery adds to the pleasantness of the place. Close to route 17 and access to Wilmington and Topsail Beach

About the host

Hosted by Phoebe Hood

Retired nurse practitioner, active in Sierra Club, volunteer with turtle rescue program , President of Cape Fear Contra Dancers. and love to kayak from my convenient dock. I have 13 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and 3 children who unfortunately live in Virginia and Florida, so I don't get to see them a lot. Love having guests from all over the world and getting to know them.
I know a lot about this area, and what's happening and love to help my guests find fun unique activities.

Why they chose this property

I built this house next door to long time friends in 1995 for my forever home. My family can't come often, so I made the upstairs into a comfortable B&B home away from home. I live downstairs and am available or will leave you alone if you prefer. You have access to the living room, sun porch, deck and yard including dock.

What makes this property unique

If you want to be the only pampered guests or if you want to be left alone, this is the place. Great breakfasts or coffee only if you want to sleep in. A comfortable mattress everyone raves about. Sunporch is great for birdwatching ,watching boats go by or just reading quietly.
Quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beach or downtown activities.
