This is the perfect location for staying in Wilmington. Amazing layout. Stocked better than most rentals. So many towels!off street parking. Cute little back patio. Walk to everything. We loved it.
Great location. Noise on street at night bothersome. Wouldn’t come back for that reason. Sleep important

We're glad you enjoyed our location ~ it's really a bonus to step out your front door and be within walking distance to all downtown Wilmington has to offer, isn't it? City noise ordnance restrictions and our Yoga Sleep Machines (made right here in Wilmington!) are provided for your sleep comfort.
Amazing location! The house has clearly been remodeled recently. Kitchen was well equipped and host did a great job of providing everything you would need.

Downtown Abbey is the optimum location with access to everything in the historic district yet secluded enough to avoid high traffic areas. It's always nice to park and walk when discovering what new towns have to offer. Thanks for staying and we hope to see you again!
Perfect location to see both the parade and events.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us during the Azalea Festival weekend! Wilmington has much to offer and with Downtown Abbey located in the heart of the historic district, everything is accessible by foot. You're welcome back anytime :-)
This stay was above and beyond what I expected. Incredible location.. The house was so well designed and furnished, I could live here full time. By far the best rental experience I have had.

This is the only place we will stay when returning to Wilmington. Very clean and comfortable for myself, my wife and our disabled daughter. Short walk to a very nice extended Memorial Day weekend. Will book this again.
