About this property

FIVE STAR! 2 Master SUITES! Stunning! Near BEACH/Downtown/Dining/Shops/Museums!

Experience Wilmington while staying in this perfectly charming home in a location that is very convenient to many attractions; especially if you are filming at Screen Gems.

This home is PET FREE. We offer over the top guest services and take great pride in our very clean and neat home, on the inside and the outside.
The bed linens, comforters, and towels are always freshly sanitized with a luxurious feel and delightful light fragrance. We love to 'wow' our guests with special seasonal surprises such as fresh flowers, herbs and other wonderful treats as well. Relax on the back porch, where you'll find rocking chairs, a comfy Southern swing and the great outdoors in a very private well-manicured setting.

You'll know the minute you enter the old-English circular stone drive that many more luxurious details await. Nestled discreetly behind 60 year old azaleas and crape myrtle trees you will also enjoy total privacy in the large, serene fenced backyard where something is always blooming in the garden. The birds love it!

The beautiful colors and tasteful furnishings will delight you and uplift your spirit as will the skylights, a gourmet gas cook-top, lots of black granite and carerra marble throughout and original hardwood floors that a man cut from trees off of his farm for his daughter over sixty years ago.

The master suite affords privacy with high transome windows and is superbly equipped with a jacuzzi tub and direct access to lanai and garden, where the morning sun will greet you like an old friend each morning.

YOU WILL LOVE THIS HOME!

Charming home
We truly enjoyed our stay in this very charming home. The host, Leigh, could not be more helpful and helped to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend this house for your stay in Wilmington.

Read the Fine Print, Review Your Bill, and Look at the "To Do" List
The property itself was lovely, and communicating with the owner was relatively easy; however, we just realized that we were overcharged for our stay. The listing permits 4 guests without an extra fee; we booked for 3 guests, and we asked to add a fourth. The owner originally quoted us a price for the additional guest, but we pointed out that the terms of her property permit four guests without an additional fee, and we thought we would not be charged. When I returned to review our VRBO bill, I realized that we were indeed charged an "extra guest fee" for having 4 individuals in a 3-bedroom residence. Additionally, the property requires a deposit, and the listing provides that you will not have your deposit returned -- even in the absence of damage to the property -- unless you complete a litany of housekeeping tasks, including doing laundry and remaking beds from which the sheets have been stripped (which defies logic). Again, the property was fine; my hesitation in recommending this property is related to the management.

Ritz Carlton in Wilmington North Carolina
The house is roomy and housed our family of five very comfortably. The rooms are well appointed, natural light touches every room including skylights in a number of rooms, the beds were comfortable for all, and kitchen served all our needs. Our kids enjoyed the upstairs children's suite. We visited during a cold period so we could not enjoy the backyard and deck, but could see it looked like a wonderful place to grill out in the warmer months. No shortage of TVs and the system provided access to NetFlex, and Hulu, which we all enjoyed on the on-demand programming. If we decide to head back to Wilmington again, will definitely see if this place is available again.

Private and Peaceful!
My husband and I were so pleased with our choice of this very special home. This home has been lovingly created and cared for. It seemed every possible need, had already been thought about. We especially loved the backyard Oasis, and fully equipped kitchen. Leigh is so personable, and certainly provided a special experience for our anniversary. Special touches found throughout the home! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Campbell Whitfield

Host profile image
Hello there! I'm Jeff and here is a picture of my beautiful wife of 33 years, Leigh. Also, our 22 year old son, Skyler, who graduated from Woodberry Forest School in Virginia in 2011 and will be graduating from Hampden-Sydney College in Farmville, Va in May 2016!

We are both from Salisbury, NC and now reside at Holden Beach, NC when we are not in Wilmington.

We welcome you to our home in Wilmington! We think this house is blessed to have a very special zen-like feel that you will surely notice and appreciate.

We are very happy to have you come and enjoy all of the creative touches, the luxurious conveniences, and the overall great energy that we have waiting for you here at this totally unique and special home.

Why they chose this property

Wilmington is one of North Carolina's most exceptional cities. Settled on the Cape Fear River and just minutes to the ocean...Wilmington has a rich history of accomplishments and a vibrant and utterly-southern culture. Wilmington offers so many attractions, you can be sure there is something special to discover for everyone.

We stumbled across this property several years ago and something told me to remodel this house...I did so as a trubute for my wife, who deserves the best. Back then, it was quite a jalopy...and now...I consider this particular remodeling venture an accomplishment of a lifetime. It became more than just a remodeling project. It became an artistic expression and a monumental statement that says, 'You can do much more than you think you can' especially when you put all of your creativity, all your heart, and all your love into it.

What makes this property unique

Treat yourself to a horse and buggy carriage tour of old-historic Wilmington.

Also, tour the battleship USS NORTH CAROLINA, where you will step onto the stage where history took place and experience the thrill of the most decorated US battleship of WWII. (Located just a few minutes away)

Visit Mayfair Shopping Center...the award winning development with you can do plenty of upscale shopping and choose from a great variety of restaurants. Mayfair is where we bring our guests and it's our favorite place to go to the movies. : )

Enjoy the beauty of Wrightsville Beach which is just one turn and then a straight shot from this house.

Wilmington's famous Azalea Festival will celebrate it's 64th year in 2011 from April 6-10. The Festival is a celebration of Wilmington’s exceptional artwork, gardens, rich history and culture during its five days of entertainment that includes: a parade, street fair, circus, concerts, pageantry, and all that is Southern.
