All you need in a vacation spot!

This host is amazing! We had fresh fruit and muffins waiting on us after our long drive and the home was already air conditioned and had ice in the ice maker! Beautiful home with every amenity you could imagine. This is the only place I'll stay next time we visit the area.

Cute!

Pros: The owners really went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. Richard escorted me through the house to show me the food and comfort items they left for me, the layout of the house, and discussed security and lighting before asking if I felt safe. It was a nice touch. I’ve never been invited into a rental by an owner before! -Hotel-style towels and fixtures in the bathroom, including a very cool lighted make-up mirror. -Very comfortable beds. -Very comfortable couch and chairs. -Nice lighting installed to give the downstairs a soft glow. -I was thrilled to have an electric kettle for making tea (my primary hot drink) because most rentals don’t have one! Cons: I was allergic to something in the downstairs area and although Richard wanted to fix the problem, I couldn’t zero in on what the problem was, and I left early because of it. -The wi-fi struggles - I had a hard time navigating the internet-based apps on my phone because it was sluggish. -There are basic eating utensils in the kitchen - it works for one or two people but not much more without having to wash them after each meal. -There are standing, oscillating fans in both bedrooms, which are necessary in the summer because the upstairs isn’t air conditioned and gets warm. This is not likely to be a problem in the cooler months, but if you like to be cold when you sleep, this won’t work for you. Overall, this is a cute spot in a decent location. Richard’s hospitality was great!

Exploring Wilmington

The property in Wilmington was just as described. The space had everything we needed and the hosts were friendly and available. Although we were tucked away in a neighborhood, it was easy to get to major roads and highways.

Cottage near the beach

Mr Richard graciously welcomed us and was so very thorough in sharing where everything was! We enjoyed our stay. Quaint tiny cottage with lots of amenities! Mr Richard says he will be adding a driveway soon, as the current one is a shared entrance close to main house and close to neighbors. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

What An Amazing Find!!!

We normally stay in a camping cabin at the KOA - this time we wanted something more comfortable for a longer stay with our dogs The Tupelo Guest House hit all the boxes - it was in the perfect location - 5 minutes from Market Street so it was close to everything. I had a great kitchen with a coffee bar and dining table, the living room was great with comfortable couch and two chairs. The two bedrooms had comfortable beds and linens. The bathroom had everything we could need including nice (big and plus) towels, plus a washer dryer - wow. There was a big TV in the living room, and TVs in each bedroom Let me tell you about our host Richard and his wife - the nicest folks. We arrived several hours before check in time - not an issue. Richard was there to show us all the features of the house (music on demand - Siri...) and it was stocked with fresh fruit, milk, juice and eggs as well as a wide selection of cereal, coffee, tea and the fixings. They live at the property and checked in periodically to see if we needed anything. The house was immaculate AND there was no issue with us having our dogs (we travel to events so they are great travelers) and Richard gave us directions to a nearby park We were there 5 days - the best vacation ever! Since we travel to Wilmington often we will stay there again!

The Washington's

Hi people, let me tell you how much I enjoyed this visit. First, I loved that my dog was welcomed (she is a German Rotti, not a small breed)! The house was perfect for our family needs. The owner was so nice and accommodating. Mr. Richard greeted me with a warm welcoming. I was given a full tour of the house and its amenities. Most importantly, I felt safe and was comfortable. The property is a nice size with a nice size yard. The location was convenient for our purposes and the house fit our needs. I Visited October 6 through7, 2023 for a class reunion(Laney!). This cottage guest home is truly stunning. The house was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The space was a great place to relax. The place looks exactly like the listing photos. I loved the attention to details of what you would need to feel like at home. The kitchen was fully stocked (coffee machine and filters are provided along with other extra snacks (bonus)! Everything a guess might need has been considered in detail and provided. He went over the expectations with providing you with your everyday needs. The bathroom and kitchen are simple, yet pretty and more adequately supplied and appointed. Bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. This house is well decorated with living plants. This charming environment makes you feel at home. We would stay here again. Rick was readily available for any questions. Check-in is simple as are the check-out. I would like to say, thank you again to the Ballards.

Just as expected plus a little bit more

We arrived and Richard was waiting for us. He lives in the next door house. He is available without being intrusive. He stocked the house with many essentials, including milk and eggs. Cleanliness is very important to me; I would use his cleaning service for my own home if I could.

Everything you need

This was a great place to stay. I came to Wilmington to visit a friend and needed a place to stay and work from. Excellent hospitality, all the comforts of home were available. Richard didn’t skip a single thing. I liked the small touches that made this a great place, TV’s and Netflix in every room, Siri and google, the small food items (eggs, milk, muffins, fruit, coffee), and washer/dryer, just to name a few. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Wilmington.
