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

This was the second time staying here in the last two months. I was so glad it was available again for this two week stay. The unit is top notch from top to bottom. Well furnished with a combination of modern and antique furniture, very comfortable mattresses, and nice kitchen and laundry appliances. The bonus room works perfectly as an office. The location is great!Upon arrival we were met with snack packs in the foyer, bananas on the counter, and fresh berries and bottled water in the refrigerator. There was ample supply of Keurig coffee pods, and the combination Keurig/full coffee maker worked well for the weekend when four of us were staying or the rest of the time when it was just one or two of us there.Jeff is a great host! Very responsive and he pays attention to the small details that make the unit feel like home. Hopefully, the Quiet Historic Retreat will be available next time I'm in Wilmington!

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!

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!

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!

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!
