About this house rental
Welcome to The Sweet Escape~
Upon arrival to The Sweet Escape you will find a charming, brick ranch home on a quiet cul de sac street in a low-traffic neighborhood that's perfect for morning walks, outdoor relaxation and an evening stroll to both Mayfaire and The Forum, two of Wilmington's Premier Lifestyle centers with dining, retail shopping and a Regal Cinema! Surrounded by beautiful, mature landscaping and a fully fenced back yard, this home is perfect for children to play or pups to roam the back yard and garden, all while being just 3 miles from Wrightsville Beach!
Inside, we aim to focus on comfort throughout a warm, inviting interior! We have three bedrooms, featuring cozy beds with high thread count, 100% cotton sheets (One king bed & 2 queen sized) We have one full bathroom & a half bathroom with adjoining washer/dryer. Our living room features a 65 inch smart TV along with a new leather sofa and swivel chair. We also have a step down den set up with new sofa, two chairs and a desk / chair duo that has its own exit to the back yard. We also have a 43 inch smart TV in the den and a pocket door that can keep the kids video sound out from the other room!
We offer a fully equipped kitchen with all large and small appliances. If you have any particular specialty item for the kitchen that you may need, please inquire and we will make sure to have it for you. We have dual coffee options, so you can use pods or enjoy a full pot with a ground coffee option if that's your preference! The kitchen also leads out to our patio that is set up for relaxing by our beautiful garden / grill area and the fire pit (we provide firewood & kindling upon request) The back yard is fenced in for your small children & pups safety and we have recently added overhead lighting features to enhance the outdoor ambiance, highlight the charm of the garden area and offer the perfect setting for evening conversations and photo ops on this spanning corner lot!
Along with a carport for rainy days and shade, there is also paved, additional parking with room for an RV, boat & trailer, etc. (Municipal boat ramp is just under 3 miles away).
We take pride in our home and ensure that it's cleaned & sanitized properly for your stay and we look forward to hosting you and your family in our beautiful city of Wilmington!

Property was very clean and well appointed. The patio/garden was a great place for a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Very easy to get to the beach and to historic Wilmington. We enjoyed our stay very much.

100/10. I can’t write a review glowing enough to compliment the property and experience. Both child and pet friendly - it truly exceeded our expectation. I told my husband I don’t know if I can stay anywhere else in Wilmington now. It’s also very accessible for me with mobility issues. Heather was an absolute dream host. We didn’t even need to speak the whole trip because everything was just so seamless. You won’t regret booking this rental. It felt truly like I was at a home away from home. We adored her backyard and the whimsy. The beds were comfortable, the fans were amazing in this heat wave. The location is amazing! Great neighborhood and everything you can need nearby. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay! I pray we get to return one day soon!

We had a great stay and were very pleased with everything. The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The beds were especially comfortable, which made for a great night’s sleep. The host was responsive and made the entire process easy from check-in to check-out. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

There are so many good things to say about this place! First off it's the cleanest house I've ever rented. The host literally thought of everything you might need while you are away from home and put it in this house. Our family loves to play board games and I forgot to bring some....but guess what was in the drawer...games! We had the best time playing the giant UNO card game! The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots/pans, etc. The bathroom was also stocked with shampoos, etc. The house is so nicely decorated. You can't go wrong with renting this house!The back yard has beautiful plants and flowers and is very well maintained. It has a nice patio area with string lights that make it magical outside. It is minutes from Mayfaire if you want to shop or see a movie and around 10 minutes (maybe less) from Wrightsville Beach. Perfect location! I think my favorite part of this house is that it has 2 living rooms. It was nice because you may have some that want to watch TV and some that just want to talk. The linens were nice...not the standard/generic rental house linens....nice soft sheets and nice towels! The host is very nice! Communication was great! Out of habit, I locked the bottom lock on the front door along with the electric lock and locked us out of the house. I had a call back from the host within a minute and a spare key even faster than that! If you are wanting to rent a place in Wilmington...this is the one!
