Beuatiful House. Horrible Parking

Loved the house. Lots of space and fully stocked. However, there was no designated parking - ONLY STREET PARKING and that was not shared. The house is in the historic district and with that come some really nice houses and some really sketch houses. Didn't feel safe for a group of females to park a block away from house at night.

Great back yard, plenty of decks, historic home in great condition

We gathered at this lovely home for a family function at St Mary’s Basilica. The Basilica was within walking distance which was perfect for us. The house had room for us to sit in the living room. We moved the dining table bench for additional seating in front of the living room fireplace. We gathered in the kitchen and back deck for coffee and breakfast in the morning. The kitchen had everything we needed for our large group. The house is close to the riverfront area and we enjoyed live music and great seafood there! Host was quick to respond when we had an issue checking in. A back up key was on site. A locksmith stopped by to check the lock the next morning at our convenience.

Wedding Weekend in Wilmington

Perfect place to stay for us and our extended family in town for a wedding. Plenty of room for 10, comfortable, clean, well stocked. Great to walk to the riverwalk for dinner. Minor issues: The code pad for the front door is very sensitive and took multiple tries each time we wanted to get in the front door. The microwave had something burnt in it previous to our stay and we ended up have to do a thorough cleaning to be able to use it though it still had a faint burnt odor. We did have a bug issue and an issue with breakers tripping in the kitchen that we contacted the VRBO contact # about, they returned the call quickly, and sent someone out to fix the issue within a few hours. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others, minor issues were heavily out weighed by size, comfort, location, and service.
