An older home that has been maintained nicely. As with any older home it is not handicap enabled, all bed rooms are upstairs and for those that are getting along in age the stairs can be difficult. The landscaping was very relaxing and beautiful, was nice watching the squirrels play! The king size sleep number bed was a bit noisy, it might be on its last leg or just an older model. Enjoy our stay in this house, has too many good qualities to mention here, but glad we found this one.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Four of us (two couples) stayed in this charming, historic house within walking distance of downtown and the waterfront; near many great restaurants. Very clean and bright. Kitchen was quite large, airy and well set up. Loved the backyard and hot tub. It was quite cold the week we were there in March so we didn’t get to take full advantage of the pool or bbq but in the warmer weather the backyard would be where you would likely spend most of your time. The neighborhood was full of beautiful vintage homes; it was such a pleasure to walk around the area. The living room and bedrooms all had cable TV. Third bedroom also serves as a lovely reading room with great light and windows. The two main bedrooms were quite comfortable and had plenty of closet and drawer space. Bathrooms were separate from the bedrooms and tended to be small (little space for toiletries), but were clean and nicely updated. Plenty of towels. Could have used more table lamps in the bedrooms for reading and a floor lamp in the living room. Best of all, the neighbor’s cat visited with us everyday. He (we checked) was a delight, always looking for a handout and petting. Very gentle, good company, and he always went home. All I all, we had a great time in Wilmington with this as our home base and we heartily recommend this house.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Overall we were very pleased. Tom the PM was awesome and very accommodating. The location could not be better, and the house was a good value. We really did not use the car during our entire stay; walked everywhere.The hot tub was very nice as well. A couple of downsides, there was a very musty smell in the house that was off-putting. There seems to be a mold/mildew issue. Though there are flat screen TVs in every room, there is no HD service to the TVs and only basic cable. The bedroom doors are louvered and one of the doors won't close unless you place a rock behind it to keep it from swinging open. So don't expect much privacy if you are traveling in a group. The master (with the only king) is a murphy bed, not sure why this is but it is kind of odd. And I was intrigued by the idea of a sleep number bed, because I had never slept on one. But it really is just a fancy air mattress.Owner response: As always we appreciate the feedback from our guests. It is reviews like these that help us improve our properties. The first issues I would like to address is the "mold/mildew" issue that is brought up. This home is 128 years old. It maintains many of its original properties including the floors, etc. We clean the air ducts yearly, as well as a mold and mildew inspections, and do not have an active mold problem or mildew issues. As for the Sleep Number beds; I personally have owned one for 10 years, and love every minute of it, but alas, not everyone will like it. As for the HD cable in every room, it is simply not possible for us to provide. We do supply HD to the main TV, but the bedroom TVs are ancillary, and we did not see the point in providing HD services to televisions in bedrooms. The same for goes for the cable packages, we provide one with full service, but it is not economically viable to provide all channels to 4 TVs. Our goal with this property is to provide a measure of luxury and a stay that is vastly different from renting a hotel. We try to keep our rates low, and in order to do that there are certain things we must keep in mind, such as televisions, cable services, etc. We do provide one of the only downtown homes with a pool and hot tub. Further, as you read the other reviews you will see our level of personal service goes above and beyond emails and phone calls.

We stayed at this home in July. It is a beautiful, historic home that has every amenity you could imagine. Everything is furnished exquisitely. The back yard is beautiful and the pool and hot tub were wonderful to use. We'll be coming back next summer for certain. Tom, the property manager, was wonderfully accommodating and friendly.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We travelled from London, Ontario (Canada) to Wilmington. The house alone was worth the drive. It was everything the add promised it would be and more. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Having a washer and dryer on site was also very handy. With our family of four (including two children) there was more than enough space. The location was excellent, and we walked downtown almost every night. I highly recommend the Ghost Tour. The little shops had many unique items. We loved Wrightsville Beach. It was not crowded at all, and it almost felt like a private beach. We also loved the Battleship. We will be returning someday to Wilmington, and will be staying at this house. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Several of us stayed at the house while we were in town for a family wedding. We could not have been happier with the house. It was much larger than the pictures made it seem. Everything was well taken care of... the pool guy even came by when we were there to check on the pool and hot tub. Downtown was just a short walk away. We only really needed a car to go to the beach. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I could recommend this house to anyone and look forward to returning in the future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Two couples spent two nights in this charming home in the historic area. The photos on VRBO were accurate. Everything that was promised was there. The kitchen was ready for use and even had a coffee pot with the k cups available. The property manager, Tom, is extremely helpful. His assistance went above and beyond our expectations. We found the Segway Tour to be well worth the price. It was lots of fun.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This charming house is the perfect spot for a getaway. Plenty of space, but quaint and lovely at the same time. The weather didn't give us a chance to make use of the pool, but we did take advantage of the hot tub, and it was super clean and comfy. Home is in perfect walking distance from restaurants and bars downtown. We could not have picked a better place!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

My husband and I stayed here with another couple for a weekend away. It was perfect. We parked the car Friday and didn't use it again till we left on Sunday. We were there for St. Patrick's Day Weekend and had a blast, such friendly people everywhere. The corner store, The Village Market, was perfect! Had every little thing we forgot, no need to leave the city. Had dinner at Deluxe, it was great! The house was amazing, the backyard was awesome. Cannot wait to come back in the summer to use the pool. Hot tub was great! We will definintely be returning, hoping to be an annual retreat!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This is an absolutely beautiful home in a terrific location. Walking distance to downtown Wilmington and the riverfront. The backyard is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing weekend. I would definitely recommend this home for a getaway. It has been wonderfully cared for, very clean and has all the amenities you need. The pictures make the home look much smaller than it actually is, it has ample room for groups or just a couple. I rented this home for a bachelorette party and we are now hoping to make it a tradition to return to this wonderful home!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
