Magnolia Tree Triplex - Unit C Downtown

4.61 out of 5 average rating, 230 reviews4 weeks ago

Good stay, cute and handy. I do recommend you all bring kitchen towels, wine glasses and a pan if you are going to use the kitchen. There is also no toaster. Lastly, bring any staples you need. It isn’t stocked with anything. There are no extra linens so we bought a blanket and a cover for the window (very bright outside at night).

The Salty Seahorse #D1 Ocean & Harbor Views

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviews5 months ago

The review provided was actually not the Salty Seahorse, but to a single home in Kure Beach, one block from the ocean. Due to an unforeseen maintenance need, Carrie Ann reached out and offered her newly acquired Kure Beach home for our upcoming stay in Wilmington. Host, Carrie Ann, was very attentive and accommodating and luckily had a location where we could stay. The home was spotless, very nicely decorated with a well stocked kitchen - plenty of everything needed! The bathroom provided toiletries and an ample supply of linens. The furniture was comfortable, including the porch table, chairs and umbrella - where we enjoyed coffee each morning. There was a slight drain issue to which we reached out to Carrie Ann and she immediately responded. The problem was quickly and thoroughly dealt with within about an hour of my reaching out to her. I would highly recommend this home and, Carrie Ann exceeded my definition of a super host or prime host! Excellent experience!
