Host was excellent at communicating! Communicated details before I even had to ask and checked in via text throughout the stay. The house was massive, great for a family or friend get-together. We stayed here for a family wedding, it was the perfect location. Close to everything, we were able to walk to the church and reception. Tons to do in the area, highly recommend. Loved the back patio space to sit outside. Thank you for a wonderful Wilmington stay!

This is a great rental in a wonderful location in Wilmington. We enjoyed the back patio for wine in the evenings and the front porch for coffee in the mornings. The bedrooms were comfortable and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The short walk downtown made our weekend a lot of fun.

Great host and home! In town for family wedding and this home worked out better than we expected or could have hoped for. Older home but very clean and well kept. Location was ideal and walkable to the wedding, reception and restaurants and bars. Home had everything you could need and the host went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Hope to be able to stay here again on future visits!

We had a great time in this beautiful home! The historical character made us feel like we were living in the 1900's. A great way to spend the weekend for a girl's trip! We especially loved how close it was to downtown and just a short drive to the beach. We will be back!

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!
