Exceeded Our Expectations
We could not have found a more ideal place for our 3-day stay in Wilmington. A perfect get-away for our family. Attention to detail, private, comfortable, clean and cozy. The outdoor lounge was a huge bonus, as well as the large yard for our 17-month old granddaughter to explore and run. The kitchen provided all of the essentials and more! Thank you, Sarah, for being so prompt with answer g our questions. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area and will recommend to our friends and family,

Property is great - owner not so much
Sweet little home, residential neighborhood, great backyard. Beds are great, couch is comfy, TV nice, all very modern. Inside has some, but not all, needed items (no soap? no tissues? no fan? limited kitchen supplies). Water pressure is terrible so if you need to wash a full head of hair - good luck. AC is odd so kitchen/living area is cold while bedrooms are hot. No screens on doors would help bugs from flying in - and in NC there are bugs! We stayed an extra two hours past check out which was totally my mistake. Bad decision on my part. Very bad in this case. Never mind the details (app difficulty, she never gave me another way to communicate, my ringer was mistakenly off ...) that would make my side more understandable. She banged on the door then just walked in and said she was calling the police. Wow. Was that because my black boyfriend with dreadlocks was in the living room when she came in? Can't know. But she was angry in a way I've not seen anyone be angry, let alone a VRBO host. She accused us of smoking in her house - we absolutely did not. We respected every single house rule. I tried everything to recover the situation. We got out of the house in 7 minutes, I offered to pay her housekeeper, apologized profusely, but we were horrible humans in her eyes and that was that. Sad ending to an otherwise lovely stay.

Nice, clean place, close to beach and restaurants
We couldn't find a place within walking distance to beach, but this place was a nice alternative. It's a close drive and was very clean and nice. Appreciated the beach accessories like the chairs and umbrella and cooler pack.

Greenacres Review
We had a wonderful time at Greenacres. The pictures listed were exactly what the house looked like. The house was ready early for check in which was a wonderful surprise since we were traveling from out of state. The patio was lovely and a great space for the group to hang out in the evening after a long day at the beach. The house was lacking paper towels and a few of the bed pillow cases had makeup stains and black stains on them. Additionally, we had some unwelcomed ants join us for the stay in the kitchen. Overall, we enjoyed the stay!
