Perfect Location in Historic Wilmington

My family of 5 stayed for a weekend wedding in the area. The house was clean and spacious. Although we did not have time to use it, the backyard was large and lovely. Brian was helpful, answering all questions from booking until check-out.

Perfect place for a large group, great location!

Loved the historic feel of this 1910 home. Highly recommend. By far the most well stocked property we've ever stayed. You will not run out of towels! Comfy beds. Everything you need to cook. Our family of 5 stayed here for our son's wedding. The groomsmen had plenty of room to get ready for the wedding. Walking distance to riverfront.We spent many hours on the large front porch. More outdoor seating in back of house with a firepit. Plenty of beds (6) . We'll definitely book this property again!

Winter wedding weekend.

This place was perfect for our group of 3 adult couples, and my adult daughter. We were in town one for a nearby wedding. The home was perfectly located, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our stay. It was an easy walk to the riverfront area. We enjoyed both the porch and the back courtyard area ! Brian is a wonderful host, just the right amount of checking in...Would definitely come back here when in the Wilmington area !

Southern comfort

I am the only member of our group from N.C. so introducing the others to the area was a special treat. We all loved the mornings on the front porch sipping coffee and evenings on the back patio sipping wine. the proximity to downtown was convenient and being able to walk to restaurants annd shops was another bonus. Hope to come back!

The location is great... downtown is one block away! We walked to dinner one night and enjoyed the farmer's market 2 blocks away on Saturday morning.

Great house and location

We decided to go to Wilmington to see a concert and go bar hopping. The house was walking distance to everything. The back patio was fully fenced in so our dog could hang out safely. The road it is on is a quiet side street surrounded by plenty of shaded sidewalks and beautiful old houses. The house is well stocked, including kitchen items. Bedrooms are comfy and cozy. Cant wait to visit again.
