This was an excellent place to stay. We could not have asked for a better place from the location (walking distance to the river front, restaurants, escape room, etc), the special touches (plenty of chargers throughout, strawberries in the fridge, bananas on the counter, etc.), a sweet balcony to have morning coffee, quiet area, comfortable beds, all the neighbors were friendly, etc. If you are looking for a place in this area get this one before it is taken. Thanks for everything Jeff!! Tom, Cherry and Matt

Absolutely beautiful home. Modern amenities with some antique touches throughout. The kitchen was clean, modern and fully stocked. Nice quiet neighborhood. We walked to the Riverwalk and the cargo district, they were both long walks, but walkable. We would love to stay here again the next time we visit our daughter.

Terrific property!

Awesome stay. Location was perfect, easy access to everything. We were able to relax and had a lot of fun. All the extras the owners supplied were great surprises, it felt like we were in a luxury rental instead of a VRBO. Would stay again, thanks!

Easy walk to downtown Wilmington. The historic district was safe with beautiful homes. Jeff, the host provided suggestions on where to eat. Jesters which is a 1 minute walk was excellent. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony. People in the neighborhood were friendly. Overall, our stay was most enjoyable.

This apartment is located in a quiet historic neighborhood exactly as the listing stated. We found it to be extremely charming. The hosts had everything we could of wanted and more. We were both surprised and delighted. The apartment is clean and comfortable with a sophisticated decor of both old and new. In short, the place is perfect. Any return visit to Wilmington will include another stay here. Jeff was a super communicator and very responsive. Thank you for an exceptional stay

Lovely week in Wilmington

My daughter and I spent the week here before she moved into her student housing. The condo was beautiful and comfortable. Our hosts were extremely kind and responsive. They even allowed us to stay 3 extra days for no extra charge because our trip was delayed by the recent hurricane! I hope to stay there again soon!

Week in Wilmington

The home couldn't have been nicer. Fully renovated, beautifully decorated and stocked with every amenity one could hope for! It felt like bedding, towels and linens were brand new. Huge TVs with streaming services in every room. Jeff was extremely responsive and helpful with all communication. You will not go wrong with this lovely home in Wilmington's Historic District!

AMAZING!!!

The listing doesn’t do this place justice. It’s beautiful! The rooms are so open and airy, all very updated. The extra touches to make our stay perfect were unexpected and delighted us all. The location is in a quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance to the river. This place really raised the bar for all of our future rentals. 100% 5+ stars from all 4 of us! Wonderful!

Awesome Apartment

We had a great weekend in Wilmington! This rental is awesome, and when we return to Wilmington, we will stay here again. The apartment was spotless, nicely designed, and had evrything we needed. A few lights were on, the tv's were on, and music was playing for us when we arrived. There are smart tv's in the master bedroom and living room and a google home in the kitchen. Everything was newer, clean, and very nice. They added some nice extra touches as well. Thank you, and we will definitely stay again!

Absolutely perfect!

The photos do not do Jeff’s place justice! It is so beautifully decorated and furnished! It’s very spacious, clean, welcoming and peaceful. Terrific location for walking to the riverfront and for driving to the beaches. The apartment is absolutely spotless—you would swear the appliances are brand new! Bathrooms and bedrooms are well appointed and nicely decorated, beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Loved the multiple charging stations around the apartment. Jeff is super friendly, helpful, and responsive. We loved the fruit and charcuterie board he left for us and appreciated how quickly he responded when we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again!
