Absolutely Wonderful
The apartment was just as listed. No surprises (of the negative kind!) I was surprised by the comfy bed and soft sheets. I was surprised by the setup of the kitchen; my typical experience with the pots, pans, silverware and etcetera in a rental is that they are fairly cheap and not in good repair. Here, everything was as nice as I would have had it in my own weekender. The cutlery was excellent, sharp, and a pleasure to cook with! The blender was also nice and made some excellent margaritas. As noted in other’s reviews, I was able to watch dolphins from the deck. - just so special for me coming from snowy, in-land Vermont! I think we were the only renters in the whole building, so it was super quiet. I worked most days and the wifi was excellent. I stayed in the back room and did get woken up a couple of times by late-night revellers, but not much can be done about that - it is a beach house, after all!! The location was great, a short drive to anything we needed, and the beach was right there! We did some excursions to Surf City and Topsail (pronounced Top-sull, for the uninitiated), and found many shark teeth fossils, and visited Wilmington, Fort Fisher, and Bald Head Island. A highlight was Flaming Amy’s Burrito Bar in Wilmington- definitely worth the stop. Rick was very responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely return to this property, and would rent from Rick again..
