The property is beautiful, clean and in a perfect location. We were in town for my niece's wedding. She got married at the Basilica across the street and the rehearsal dinner and reception were at the City Club and St. Thomas just a few blocks away. Several breakfast/lunch spots were also just a few blocks away. The house was well stocked with everything we needed.Great communication with host.

Family Reunion Stay

The property was EXACTLY as depicted in the photos. Check in and check out was easy. We had everything we needed during our stay. The property was pristine; bedding was comfortable and the towels were plush! The care and details the host put into this home elevated our experience. Not to mention the neighborhood was nice and close to the downtown riverwalk area. I highly recommend this place when your visiting the Wilmington area.

Family marathon getaway

Had a lovely stay during our visit for the Wilmington marathon. The house is just as described and pictured! Impeccably clean and so very comfy. We especially appreciated the coffee station and the candy was a nice treat! The location was perfect for a short stroll to the riverfront area with all the shops and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in Wilmington!

We had an amazing weekend at this VRBO in Wilmington! The house was absolutely gorgeous—beautifully decorated, spotless, and stocked with everything we could have needed. The beds were super comfortable, making for a restful stay. The location was perfect—just a short 15-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive to downtown, which made exploring the area so easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely book again in the future!
