We had the best time in Wilmington! We were there for a wedding and the house was centrally located to everything. We walked to the welcome party and wedding venue. There are shops and restaurants nearby and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the town. The home is immaculate and perfect for 2 couples. It's centrally located but very private with serene landscaping where we enjoyed our morning coffee each day. The check-in and check-out processes were incredibly easy as well. I highly recommend staying in this home and will definitely be back when we are in Wilmington again.

Amazing home in historic Wilmington

We travelled to Wilmington to meet some visiting friends from New York state and this little gem of a house made the weekend trip unbelievable. The house was in an great location with walking access to the river front, multiple breweries and restaurants. We were able to park the cars and walk everywhere we wanted to go. The house had all of the amenities needed for the weekend. The owner provided details on everything including locating the parking which was down an alley. She was responsive to questions and checked in occasionally just to make sure everything we needed was there. I will be returning to Wilmington and staying at this home again in the future, hopefully in a cooler part of the year. ;-)
