Beautiful Pet Friendly Property
We stayed three nights with our adult daughter and two dogs and this was a perfect pet friendly place! Great location for walking to downtown restaurants and venues. For us, the ease of walking our dogs in the church yard next door or around the block was great. The property is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and well-socked with most anything you will need.

I was displaced from Asheville then Melbourne after storms. This spot gave me the ability to hide away and recalibrate for a few days. A wonderful little clean modernized spot in the historic district.

Perfect for a couple!
We were visiting to attend 2 concerts in Wilmington and really enjoyed our stay! The place was modern, well decorated and had all the essentials we needed. I loved having lots of coffee pods to try and the candy was a nice treat! Thanks for having beach chairs available; we used them for a day trip to Wrightsville beach. We would definitely stay here again!

Better than advertised
It was our first time visiting Wilmington so we weren’t familiar with where to stay, I can tell you we will be back and booking this home again. Spotless, well appointed with everything you need. Within walking distance to food and activities and the hosts are amazing. It was just what we needed from a weekend away!

Wonderful Location, Amenities & Hosts
Our hosts Wayne & Bobby were excellent. They created a very friendly environment for us and our little dogs. The amenities were new and it felt like they had thought of everything someone staying there could need. It was an absolute delight to stay there. Our only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to finish the butterfly coloring book/guestbook. The location was perfect for walking our dogs, walking to the historic riverfront area or just walking around in general to take in the beautiful neighborhood. Will plan on staying there again next time we come to Wilmington.

Getaway
The property and location was perfect. Unfortunately it was an unusual heat wave which put a damper on our getaway. I would highly recommend the butterfly hideaway.
