If you need a fast nap, there are three comfortable beds (already made) with 100% high thread count, cotton sheets. You will find this on a very safe cul de sac in a peaceful, wide street, low traffic neighborhood ideal for your morning walks~
The Sweet Escape is less than ten mins. from UNCW & fifteen mins. from Wilmington's Historic Downtown Riverfront. You can also walk just five mins. away to a coffee shop / restaurant & only a ten min. walk to Mayfair. Mayfair is Wilmington’s Premier Lifestyle Shopping Center that offers over 80 stores and 20 eateries.
We have three bedrooms, featuring three very comfortable beds ~ One king & 2 queen beds. We have one full bathroom & a half bathroom. Our living room features a 65 inch intelligent TV along with a new leather couch and swivel chair. We also have a step down den set up with new couch, two chairs and a desk / chair duo. We also have a 43 inch intelligent TV in the den. There’s a pocket door that can keep the kids video sound out from the other room!
We offer a completely equipped kitchen with all huge and modest appliances. If you have any particular specialty item for the kitchen that you may need, please inquire and I'll make sure to have it for you. Kitchen leads out to our patio that is set up for calming by our handsome garden / grille area and the fire pit (we provide firewood & kindling) The back yard is fenced in for your modest kids & pups safety and we have freshly added overhead lighting features to enhance the outdoor ambiance, highlight the appeal of the garden area and offer the ideal setting for evening conversations and photo ops! There is plentiful parking with room for an RV, boat & trailer (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.
Thank you so much considering The Sweet Escape.
