5 Stars – Thoughtful Hosts & Perfectly Appointed Cottage

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cozy and beautifully maintained cottage. From the moment we arrived, the experience was warm and welcoming. The owner and his lovely wife personally greeted us and gave a quick tour of the cottage, which was such a nice personal touch.The space was very clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked. We were welcomed with a bowl of fresh organic fruit, a great variety of teas and K-Cups, and even fresh milk, bottled water, eggs, and bacon in the fridge. There was also a nice selection of individual cold cereals—perfect for easy mornings.The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee on the screened-in porch…such a peaceful spot.A unique and modern touch was the availability of both Siri and Google assistants on both levels of the cottage, which made it easy to play music or get quick weather updates. Coming home after dark was also easy thanks to the motion sensor lighting.The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming and relaxing space. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

What you see is not exactly what you get.

Arrived at address & it looked so different from pictures we circled block a couple times. The guest house & the Host house is approximately 6 feet apart. Neighbors very close as well. The lake, park no where in sight as we circled the block. We were met by the 2 Hosts. They were pleasant as they gave us a tour of the guest quarters. It was clean and well stocked with what you would need & more.The day of booking, the Host asked the purpose of my visit. I stay vrbo’s several times a year in Wilmington because of family there. The house we usually rent is no longer available. I told him in this email I had two 9 lb. Yorkies. SOSiBella, my Medical Alert with certifications, paperwork & my other, Mavilyn. I was then notified by Vrbo, “ The Host wants to charge you a Pet Fee” I confirmed the two pets, in a reply email, and stated I accepted that.We stayed two nights. On day of check out, I received an email from Host accusing me of “ reporting one pet, showing up with two, & not paying for them.” I referred him to the email on day of booking.We were there 3 days. Walking both pet’s multiple times of day & the guest quarters are so close to hosts home, it would be impossible to walk them or even come & go to your car , without hosts being aware.And, with traffic, it took us at least 40 minutes to get to the beach where my family lives.This is the most disturbing stay with Vrbo ever.His emails to me have been insulting & hurtful.

Cute & quiet!

From start to finish, this place was wonderful!! The hosts, Richard and Faith, were kind and hospitable! They provided assorted breakfast items in the fridge/freezer, like Eggo waffles, eggs, sausage patties, assorted cereals, fruit, and milk.The cottage stay came ready-made for cozy comfort! The bed was so comfortable! If we needed anything, they were available ! Richard gave us suggestions for good local restaurants . Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, this cottage is definitely the place to stay!

Cute!

Pros: The owners really went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. Richard escorted me through the house to show me the food and comfort items they left for me, the layout of the house, and discussed security and lighting before asking if I felt safe. It was a nice touch. I’ve never been invited into a rental by an owner before! -Hotel-style towels and fixtures in the bathroom, including a very cool lighted make-up mirror. -Very comfortable beds. -Very comfortable couch and chairs. -Nice lighting installed to give the downstairs a soft glow. -I was thrilled to have an electric kettle for making tea (my primary hot drink) because most rentals don’t have one! Cons: I was allergic to something in the downstairs area and although Richard wanted to fix the problem, I couldn’t zero in on what the problem was, and I left early because of it. -The wi-fi struggles - I had a hard time navigating the internet-based apps on my phone because it was sluggish. -There are basic eating utensils in the kitchen - it works for one or two people but not much more without having to wash them after each meal. -There are standing, oscillating fans in both bedrooms, which are necessary in the summer because the upstairs isn’t air conditioned and gets warm. This is not likely to be a problem in the cooler months, but if you like to be cold when you sleep, this won’t work for you. Overall, this is a cute spot in a decent location. Richard’s hospitality was great!

Mr Richard graciously welcomed us and was so very thorough in sharing where everything was! We enjoyed our stay. Quaint tiny cottage with lots of amenities! Mr Richard says he will be adding a driveway soon, as the current one is a shared entrance close to main house and close to neighbors. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

What An Amazing Find!!!

We normally stay in a camping cabin at the KOA - this time we wanted something more comfortable for a longer stay with our dogs The Tupelo Guest House hit all the boxes - it was in the perfect location - 5 minutes from Market Street so it was close to everything. I had a great kitchen with a coffee bar and dining table, the living room was great with comfortable couch and two chairs. The two bedrooms had comfortable beds and linens. The bathroom had everything we could need including nice (big and plus) towels, plus a washer dryer - wow. There was a big TV in the living room, and TVs in each bedroom Let me tell you about our host Richard and his wife - the nicest folks. We arrived several hours before check in time - not an issue. Richard was there to show us all the features of the house (music on demand - Siri...) and it was stocked with fresh fruit, milk, juice and eggs as well as a wide selection of cereal, coffee, tea and the fixings. They live at the property and checked in periodically to see if we needed anything. The house was immaculate AND there was no issue with us having our dogs (we travel to events so they are great travelers) and Richard gave us directions to a nearby park We were there 5 days - the best vacation ever! Since we travel to Wilmington often we will stay there again!

Hi people, let me tell you how much I enjoyed this visit. First, I loved that my dog was welcomed (she is a German Rotti, not a small breed)! The house was perfect for our family needs. The owner was so nice and accommodating. Mr. Richard greeted me with a warm welcoming. I was given a full tour of the house and its amenities. Most importantly, I felt safe and was comfortable. The property is a nice size with a nice size yard. The location was convenient for our purposes and the house fit our needs. I Visited October 6 through7, 2023 for a class reunion(Laney!). This cottage guest home is truly stunning. The house was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The space was a great place to relax. The place looks exactly like the listing photos. I loved the attention to details of what you would need to feel like at home. The kitchen was fully stocked (coffee machine and filters are provided along with other extra snacks (bonus)! Everything a guess might need has been considered in detail and provided. He went over the expectations with providing you with your everyday needs. The bathroom and kitchen are simple, yet pretty and more adequately supplied and appointed. Bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. This house is well decorated with living plants. This charming environment makes you feel at home. We would stay here again. Rick was readily available for any questions. Check-in is simple as are the check-out. I would like to say, thank you again to the Ballards.
