Very Nice Home

We stayed on the first floor of the home. The location was very close to downtown and the riverwalk. It was very clean, had lots of room and was nicely decorated. The kitchen had nice appliance and had plenty of tableware. Communication with the owner was great, he replied quickly and provided plenty of information. The only issue I had was hearing the people on the second floor. They were not doing anything to be loud, but the house is old and you can hear whenever they are walking and the had a pet so you could also hear it running around.

Good location, quiet neighborhood that's a quick walk or lyft ride to shops and restaurants. The decor doesn't try to emulate the period that the house was built. Instead, it is just fun, with brightly colored accents and some of the coolest lighting fixtures and lamps I've seen! Also- they provide not just coffee, but also creamer! We enjoyed our 2 nights there-

Great place to stay.

Steve was a wonderful host. My family and I had a great stay at his place, which is located near downtown and convenient to everything we were looking for. We only stayed a night but my family enjoyed our time at the house which was located on a quiet street. Rooms were spacious and welcoming. Thank you Steve!

Super chill

The house is very nice, I liked that each bedroom has its own color theme. The kitchen is beautiful. I had a huge group of friends stay over and they thought it was very nice. I had a little trouble figuring out the ceiling fan in some of the rooms. Also be careful with the rugs because they are on top of wood floors and they like to move. The host is very communicative which was super helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful property! We took a quick trip to Wilmington to tour the college and stumbled upon the gem on VRBO. I’m so glad we did! It was clean and spacious. You can tell this home is loved and well taken care of. We could walk downtown to the restaurants and shops in about 10 minutes. We will definitely be back!

A quick stay in downtown Wilmington

We were in town one night for a wedding and needed a convenient place to stay within walking distance of the venue. This location was perfect and we loved having a parking spot instead of fighting for street parking. The hosts were very accommodating with our need for an earlier check in. If we ever needed a place to stay in Wilmington again we will definitely come back.
