My husband and I traveled with our two children to Wilmington for 5 days. This property was a perfect location within walking distance to everything including the restaurants, riverwalk and children’s museum. The home is old but kept up with well. We needed more towels when we arrived and Steve answered immediately and had them delivered along with water, milk, and paper products within an hour. Parking was great off the street and partially covered. Entry to unit was simple. We couldn’t figure out how to turn on any of the overhead lights but there were enough lamps that worked fine. The only thing I would add would be access to a washer and dryer since we had children and after 5 days walking in the heat, we collected quite a bit of dirty laundry :) but I knew that when booking the property.

Spring Break
The house was lovely and had everything we needed for our family of four. Three tvs and two toilets with room to spread out is great when traveling with kids. We were able to walk to the downtown area with ease. Lots of other area attractions were just a short drive. So many food and beverage options available!! The house itself was comfortable and safe. Finding coffee, creamer, and sugar upon arrival was a treat that our tired souls needed. The front porch with its lovely breeze was a great spot for morning coffee and an evening nightcap. We truly enjoyed our stay.

I came with my sister for a long weekend to see Wilmington. My sister and I have been lifelong fans of one tree hill and came to explore the city it was filmed in. We loved our stay, Steve was so responsive and hospitable. Would definitely come back in the future. The place had so much character and was spacious and clean. We loved it!

Lovely stay in Wilmington
We had the lower unit and it was absolutely lovely. Even though 3rd street is pretty busy, it is a beautiful area and we walked to all riverfront attractions. The weather was cool the first night and I appreciated the space heater in the back bedroom. Thank you for a wonderful time!!

A day away
Just a short getaway two hours from home, but just enough to have a pleasant evening with a friend. Do a lot of shopping a little eating, and a lot of walking. This location made it easy to get to the waterfront with shops and restaurants. Home was lovely. Plenty of room and coffee. would definitely give this a 10 and recommend.

Wilmington visit
We stayed twice in Steven's place, which is a treasure: beautifully and comprehensively furnished, supremely comfortable, and conveniently located in Wilmington's historic district. He makes everything, from check in to check out, easy. And the price is reasonable. If you are in need of a place to stay in Wilmington, his cannot be beat. We go through there often and will be back soon.
