Cindy and her family have made an amazing and affordable place for families. The Quaint Container is the perfect spot. It was so clean and perfect. She and her family are personable, helpful, and kind. We will definitely be back. I would rate it 100 out of 10 if I could. There is no laundry on site to do, the kitchen has an air fryer and microwave, a mini fridge and freezer, fans, ac, and the porches. It was EXACTLY how described. Amazing place and Amazing people!

We were travelling by car from Florida to Pennsylvania and needed a place to stay to break up the drive. We stopped in Wilmington for a day to see the Battleship North Carolina. I have had some interests in mini homes and container homes, so this was a perfect opportunity to see what it was all about. Turns out it was pretty darn cool. Location is quiet, Sheetz 24hr market really close by, and pretty much near just about everything. It was a calm, clean, and cool (it was hot outside!!). Cindy and her husband (our hosts) invited us to stop by that evening. So I did. I met some good folks. We told stories and laughed and had a really good time. I would definitely stay again. Honestly, if I was passing through Wilmington, I'd stop just to say hello.

We have stayed at many places in the Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach area, and this was by far the cleanest place we’ve experienced. The host was an excellent communicator, and everything about our stay was perfect. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and look forward to staying here again.
