Wilmington hidden treasure

Affordable and true to the listing specifications! Only 20 min from the beach, amazing outdoor area and inside game room. Spacious and comfortable rooms; safe neighborhood. Large kitchen, everything in top notch condition. Extremely pet friendly with no additional fees. The host is attentive and responds quickly. Highly recommend booking your stay here if you have 6 people, want something affordable, and still want to be near the beach.
