About the host
Hosted by Wayne Williams
Bobby & Wayne moved to Wilmington in 2021 after living in Washington, DC for over 25 years. We are avid travelers - particularly Europe. We’ve found that great stays can help make trips more memorable! So we want you to have a relaxing, wonderful stay.
Why they chose this property
We were attracted by the small town charm of Wilmington's historic district that reminds us of our Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington without the congestion and traffic! History around every corner coupled with great restaurants, museums, historic homes, the Riverwalk, theaters, and concerns at Live Oak Pavilion - all within walking distance!
What makes this property unique
Tastefully decorated with premium bedding and all the conveniences of home. We've tried to include everything to make your stay more enjoyable. Plus, dog-friendly! As dog-parents, we understand the challenges of finding pet-friendly travel accommodations, especially for large dogs. So, we wanted to create a space that was welcoming of the entire family including your fur baby!
