Half Iron Man Stay

We picked this spot since my husband was doing the half iron man race. So it was me and 3 young kids and we wanted space to be and hang out but also ease to get to downtown and the race and be able to watch without driving. The house was perfect! So accommodating and had everything we needed for our stay! The property was beautiful and we loved the porch for morning coffee and wine at night after the kids were asleep. It was a great spot and would definitely recommend it! Easy check-in and out too!

Wilmington

We had a fabulous time in Wilmington. This historic house is perfectly located. The neighborhood was quiet and picturesque and sitting on the front porch gave us a great sense of peace and serenity. Yet in a very very short walk you could be in the heart of downtown with an abundance of shops, coffee shops and restaurants.

Wedding Getaway

Our daughter was getting married at Bakery 105 so we wanted a place close by to avoid driving. This place ended up be ideal and right around the corner. It was an easy to walk to the Riverwalk and through historic downtown Wilmington. A bonus was the children's museum across the street for our three grandsons! Would definitely recommend this place!

This place is a perfect stay for me. Within walking distance to downtown and the river. The house was clean and comfortable with a lovely little backyard. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Just Perfect!

Wow. We had the best time this past weekend in your rental. It’s located so close to the Riverwalk where we took a boat ride and enjoyed dining at Elijah’s. The house was so clean, had all the amenities we needed and was so cozy. The owners really put a lot into their home and we absolutely loved it. We sat on the swing in front and watched the nicest neighbors go by. Our favorite was the horse drawn carriage tour we got to observe from the porch. There were books to read, games to play and my favorite coffee machine. We loved this older home full of charm and plan to return!

Location is great!

Really enjoyed the uniqueness of the house and its location. Only downside was the cleanliness because of the amount of dog hair and dust throughout the house. I understand being pet friendly but there is a certain level of upkeep that must be maintained and this was not done.
