Southern comfort
I am the only member of our group from N.C. so introducing the others to the area was a special treat. We all loved the mornings on the front porch sipping coffee and evenings on the back patio sipping wine. the proximity to downtown was convenient and being able to walk to restaurants annd shops was another bonus. Hope to come back!

We had a wonderful experience staying in this beautiful historic home. The space was fantastic. We had plenty of room and the house is well stocked with linens and kitchen needs. The location is great... downtown is one block away! We walked to dinner one night and enjoyed the farmer's market 2 blocks away on Saturday morning. We will most certainly be renting this house again!rentingrentiagain!usthismorning

Great house and location
We decided to go to Wilmington to see a concert and go bar hopping. The house was walking distance to everything. The back patio was fully fenced in so our dog could hang out safely. The road it is on is a quiet side street surrounded by plenty of shaded sidewalks and beautiful old houses. The house is well stocked, including kitchen items. Bedrooms are comfy and cozy. Cant wait to visit again.

Excellent wedding meetup for a large family
This home was so large, comfortable, fun and inviting. Everyone staying in and around Wilmington enjoyed stopping by to hang out with family members. Absolutely everything we needed was provided, making the home feel more like visiting at Grandma's house than renting! We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, visiting some of the historic churches and easy access for a wide variety of food and shopping. It was perfect proximity to the wedding venue at the Atrium. Everyone loved the trip, largely due to the quality family time we had at this house. Thank you Brian!

Historic District
This is 3rd time we have stayed in this beautiful old home which is located on a brick street in the Historic district of Wilmington. We enjoyed relaxing on front porch with my morning coffee or while reading a book. The house is a treasure of days gone by. It is within a short walk of the Cape Fear River and all the restaurants and shops in downtown. We walked to dinner every night and there are so many choices in the area. Also if you happen to fly in you could Uber to house and never need a car. We will be back again next year.

We had the best time over Father’s Day weekend. This house is so charming with plenty of space and the best location. It was so easy to walk to downtown to enjoy the breweries and the Riverwalk. Brian, the host, is super responsive and the house was well stocked with everything from towels to dishes and cook wear. Thanks for a wonderful vacation spot.

Great location, very old home with history. Plenty of space. The owner checked in with us to make sure everything was ok and to see if we needed anything. If you like to walk and explore this home is right in downtown. We would stay here again if we come back to this area.

Four guys on a golfing trip from the uk. We all had our own bedroom and bathroom. Absolutely ideal for our trip. Easy walking distance to the old town bars and restaurants. Good parking facility around the back plus on road was available sometimes. Would definitely stay again. Host Brian was available via messaging, he quickly fixed a minor problem that we had with a wc. Excellent service.

Wonderful location
This was our second stay at this property. We stay because it’s a cool old house with 4 bedrooms that allows dogs bigger than your hand. There are only two of us, but we paid more for a tiny one bedroom farther away from town than this one. We walk to the riverfront every day. The elegant old houses are beautiful and it’s a really nice and pretty short walk. The courtyard is great for the dog, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’d need and the tv even has all the paid channels. They also don’t expect you to jump through hoops cleaning everything in the house even though you are paying a cleaning fee. There is a reason for the high rating on this property!

St. James Inn
We stayed here for my son's wedding which was being held near the waterfront of downtown Wilmington. The home was nice and comfortable with plenty of room inside. We chose to stay here due to it being within walking distance of the rehearsal, wedding venue and restaurants downtown. Brian was a great host and responded to all questions or concerns timely and fixed issues if needed. The driveway to the parking area behind the house is a little tight if you drive a full size vehicle (Chevy Silverado z71, GMC Yucon XL Denali) but they will fit through there. There is also parking on the street in front of house. Overall this was a great place to stay and be able to walk to about anywhere downtown you like. Thanks to Brian for being a great host and we would definitely stay here again if we are back in the Wilmington area!

Fun Girls Trip in Wilmington
We loved our stay in Wilmington! We had a great experience for our girls trip. We loved that everyone had their own space and their own bathrooms! The home was bigger than we had anticipated which was wonderful. We loved the historical feel of the old home, and we were impressed with the amenities and cleanliness of such an old home. The location was excellent, we walked everywhere we wanted to go. I would recommend this rental, and would stay again.

Charming, spacious home in the Wilmington Historic District.
This was a wonderful experience for us and my son, his wife and their 2 & 4 year olds. We were in town for a wedding, which was hosted at the atrium on 2nd Street We were close to everything we needed and had the opportunity to walk around and enjoy the architecture of Wilmington. I can’t say enough about the spaciousness of this house, and the ability for it to sleep eight between the four rooms. The communication with the owner was more than could be expected. He was able to let us check in early and check out later. We used the laundry and had everything we needed. The house is 4 blocks from Front street and the river that has a walking path to enjoy the sites. Don’t forget to take a tour of the North Carolina Battleship. The horse drawn trolly comes right past the home. Do not hesitate to book this for a Wilmington vacation or event.
