Great place to stay.
Steve was a wonderful host. My family and I had a great stay at his place, which is located near downtown and convenient to everything we were looking for. We only stayed a night but my family enjoyed our time at the house which was located on a quiet street. Rooms were spacious and welcoming. Thank you Steve!

Super chill
The house is very nice, I liked that each bedroom has its own color theme. The kitchen is beautiful. I had a huge group of friends stay over and they thought it was very nice. I had a little trouble figuring out the ceiling fan in some of the rooms. Also be careful with the rugs because they are on top of wood floors and they like to move. The host is very communicative which was super helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location/So clean
What a beautiful property! We took a quick trip to Wilmington to tour the college and stumbled upon the gem on VRBO. I’m so glad we did! It was clean and spacious. You can tell this home is loved and well taken care of. We could walk downtown to the restaurants and shops in about 10 minutes. We will definitely be back!

A quick stay in downtown Wilmington
We were in town one night for a wedding and needed a convenient place to stay within walking distance of the venue. This location was perfect and we loved having a parking spot instead of fighting for street parking. The hosts were very accommodating with our need for an earlier check in. If we ever needed a place to stay in Wilmington again we will definitely come back.

Modern decor in heart of Historic Wilmington
Came here with my husband when he wanted to take a fishing charter out of Wrightsville Beach with one of his friends. The area is very quiet and very close to the Riverwalk and local restaurants, boat rides, etc. Also appreciated that it is pet friendly. Steven the host is very accommodating and very quick to respond. Would highly recommend!

Outside yard needs a little work. There is some work being completed. Front door and bathroom door stick Threshold on back door is unattached. Interior is very well decorated and comfortable. Fantastic location. Close to Riverwalk. Unit has parking so we didn’t have to park on the street. Highly recommend!

Great location and home
We stayed for a quick weekend trip with my family and the home is just as listed. It was clean and exactly like the pictures. The location is perfect to visit the battleship and other downtown locations with just a short drive. The beds were very comfortable. Will certainly stay again when we come to visit.

We loved staying at “the Marilyn”! The home is beautiful and the neighborhood is fantastic. Our host Steve went above and beyond to be an amazing host when I reached out about a very minor inconvenience. I cannot recommend this property - or this host - enough!!

Beyond expectations!
So I think I shorted my other review but my family and I stayed here for my daughter's 13th birthday the owners are so kind if you are thinking of booking this location do not hesitate! You are out of the hustle and bustle of the main town but close enough for the beaches and fishing and everything else the Riverwalk was gorgeous we managed to make it to three different areas in one day. The house itself is large beautifully decorated and in a wonderful neighborhood. A small fenced in area if you have puppies with you but also a gorgeous area to walk your dogs they're a little plaques around the neighborhood talking about the historic homes the home that we stayed in ourselves was over 100 years old historic Wilmington is just beyond gorgeous. The location has ample space we were actually able to book both the houses in the duplex which gave us full access to the whole building there's a gorgeous balcony upstairs and a wonderful swing set on the bottom porch loved every minute we were there my children were sad to leave! So grateful for the wonderful memories we were able to make due to this location will not hesitate at all to book again!

Great little place!
The house was super clean and organized! A great location for all of our activities (college visit to UNCW, visits to the beach, battleship). Beds were comfy, bathroom size suited all 4 of us easily, great sitting area and kitchen. Owner was very easy to communicate with. Only critique would be to provide extra bath towels. This was a great place to stay for our 4 day trip, would highly recommend, and we will definitely stay here again if/when we are back in the area.

Wilmington vacation
Nice property. Almost everything was great. My only complaints are that there was a faint, odd smell when we first got there (I didn't notice it after the first couple hours), some of the lights flickered, and one of the bedside table lamps was unplugged (not a big deal, but there weren't a lot of outlets, and I would have needed to move the bed/bedframe away from the wall to plug it in). I believe the owner would have addressed these issues had I brought them up, but none of them were big enough of a deal to mention during my stay.

Loved that the beds were comfy, everything we needed was there (dishwasher pods, coffee and creamer, pack n play). The owner even purchased a highchair for the place when he found out we had a baby coming with. Very communicative and easy to get ahold of
