Super cute and clean spot!

I took my 2 kids to see a concert in the area, so it was just us 3. The room was larger than expected. Very clean and cozy. Location was ideal for downtown Wilmington access. We had a great stay!

Clean, quiet, beachy feel

Lots of room, clean, well appointed, good location in northern residential area, but within 15 minutes of shopping. Stayed the weekend while we moved our son into a new home nearby. Will be back.
