Wilmington 2025

We had a relaxing stay at the home in Wilmington. The neighborhood was quiet overall. The river walk was within a 15 minute walk as described. There is a wonderful neighbor across the street who pointed out a good coffee and wine bar that was within walking distance or a 5 minute car ride. We loved our stay and we are considering going back at some point.

Wilmington cottage

We were only there for the weekend for a family thing, but enjoyed our stay. The cottage was an amazing renovation with very beautiful and unusual furnishings. Location was great for downtown. The neighborhood is a work in progress but has great potential. We would stay again.

Amazing house but read on

Gorgeous house. Came equipped with everything we needed. Short drive to the Riverwalk and beach. Walkable to family friendly hangouts Hi-Wire brewery and Burgers and Brews, both with live music and many games suitable for kids. Coffee shop and ice cream shop. Beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms impressive. Amazing front porch. Neighborhood was a bit iffy at night, got woken up to gun shots on our last night which was a bit concerning but still felt safe inside. Not sure we would stay again because of this but the house is really hard to beat. .

Lovely Home/Good location

My friend and I stayed at this home for a few day getaway and this house was perfect. It was roomy and comfortable. The outdoor patio was a nice place to relax. Location was on a quiet street and approximately a 6 block walk to restaurants and breweries.
