Perfect Location to Front Street

This beautiful home has spacious bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms. The kitchen is wonderful, although the refrigerator is a bit small. The laundry was nice with its full-size washer and dryer, too. The house is walking distance to Front Street, so it's close to great restaurants and the river. This property is a gem!

Loved everything about this house. No problem parking in front of the house. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Perfect place to celebrate my mom’s 92nd bday with several of my sibs. Easy to walk to restaurants and the waterfront. And Jordon was quick to respond when we had a slight problem getting hot water in one of the showers. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Wonderful Home in Wilmington

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The door access code worked on the first attempt and our initial impression was that the home was beautifully decorated and very calming. Each time we returned to the home, someone in our group would comment on how appealing it was. Each room had a minimalist feel and was roomy, clean, and bright. The dining area and living room had plenty of seating for our group of six adults. The beds were so comfortable that we asked Jared (host) where we could purchase similar mattresses and he promptly provided the information. There were plenty of electrical outlets in the main area to recharge our eleven laptops, tablets, phones, and drones and the wifi was fast and flawless. It was appointed with everything we needed, and the location was within walking distance to dining options and within 10 minutes drive to the airport. The next time we visit Wilmington, this home will be our top choice.
